I'm not sure I would rule out T. metachroa. The notes provided for that species in our taxonomy say that species often appears pale in colour and 'the dull thoracic collar' may be 'indistinct'. The palps seem to match this sightiing:

It was also notably larger than orites - which also occurs in that locality.

I'm not sure this is O. orites because that moth appears more elongate, darker grey and usually holds its wings at rest in a vertical plane.
