The marginal edge of the hindwimg medial band is obscured, which is the simplest visual feature distinguishing E. excursaria from E. bispinaria.

Going by CD pages of Moths of Victoria Part 7 these markings are consistent with a form of E. bispinaria.

I'm not sure this is S. rubraria because the wavy wing pattern seems different to me and the antannae are not held in the characateristic S. rubraria fashion.

Attn, moth moderators. We have a redundant 'Scopula (genus)' entry in the Geometridae taxonomy. "Scopula (genus) (A wave moth)" has many sightings, whereas "Scopula (genus) (A Wave moth (Sterrhinae))" has only one sighting. I plan to reclasiify this sighting No. 12112 to the first "Scopula (genus) (A wave moth)" category.
