No , I do not think so, this moth has a dark thorax.

Its difficult because there are several unrelated species which look very similar. See 'Moths in the ACT', pp. 28-29. I've gone for M. automima because the tailing edge of the dark thorax apparently shows a sharp point and the front adge of the dark outer panel slopes back parellel with the costa.
