Lets’ be precise: On the equator at an equinox , it would look exactly like this about 2 hours before dawn (in the east) [reading from left to right] or about 2 hours after sunset (in the west) [reading from right to left]. Even more precisely, because of the slight tilt of the moon’s path, one event would be at the vernal equinox, the other at the autumnal equinox. A short paragraph as to which is which will be due in my box tomorrow.

Sorry, but when you see the moon grin like that, it is close to setting, not rising.

Double sorry, but the crescent is never at the top or bottom of the moon as we see it.
