Looks like Thalerotricha mylicella. Head shape and palps, tick. Antenna shape and attachment point. Dottiness varies on the iNat specimens. Dots visable on wing apex above can be seen on mani iNat specimens.

Searching for Salma marmorea on ALA offers Stericta marmorea but does not list it as a synonym
https://bie.ala.org.au/species/https://biodiversity.org.au/afd/taxa/0d759d39-8b47-4f29-a147-0a798d8d4ee9

On his site Don says Salma marmorea is a former name for Stericta marmorea. I cannot open AFD.
Maybe we need to put it in this basket and see if the answer turns up down the line. iNat is using Salma marmorea
