Vasily, Sergey, thanks for your useful elaboration. Fairly speaking, I originally IDed this moth as griseola but the last bit I changed to complana, the color around its head confused me)) I should have minded its wing width and resting pose! Now I know.

Actually, it's rather easy. Eilema griseola has way wider wings than other Eilema moths. This is seen well in photos and due to that Eilema griseola can't be mistaken for other Lithosiinae similar in color. Those can much confuse me and I usually thoroughly recheck such moths.
