Palaeotoma styphelana is close but has longer mouthparts and distinct bumps (v. technical term!) on wings. Also the antennae are attached further forward on the head (in front of the eyes). I think the dark patch is further down the wing in this moth too. The large eyes is a good match. I am not persuaded but have not found an alternative.

Above seems to lack the 'checkered' appearance that the iNat examples show but otherwise a good match. Appearance MAY be photo technique/gear? Possibly E. fabricata going by BOLD (Hobern). BOLD (Hobern) specimens of E. postvittana like this seem to be (south western) WA specimens. E. dotonata may be the best match for these subtle markings.
