It's definitely an Oecophoridae, probably genus Garrha, and is possibly O. leucerythra or rufimaculella

Judging by what I can see on the ALA, Garrha leucerythra seems quite likely, but there are several images just labelled Garrha g. which also look very like this specimen; and there is sometimes a lot of variation within images labelled as a particular Garrha species. Perhaps 'Garrha sp.' is the safest ID for now?
