A second look at this specimen leads me to believe it is Idiodes siculoides (Walker, 1860), based on the white between the antennae

I don't blame you for having difficulty in identifying this one. It is a terrible photo. And I just checked. No I don't have a better one. Pity.

Most of the 10,000 or so named Australian moth species were named and described between 1850 -1950 and are those most commonly encountered, but it is now evident that there.are probably as many again, rather rarer, unnamed. Yours seems to be one of those. Do not be dismayed. Yours is rarer than the named moths. Be thrilled.

Thank you for the discussion. It’s a bit disappointing after all of that to only get a genus and not a species. 😂 it’s fun to challenge the experts.
