The closest match I've been able to find online is to M. suavis (male). I have ruled out the similar looking Mictodoca toxeuta becouse this specimen lacks the long palps and sharper pointed wings. I note the greyish hindwings seem to better match the few specimen of M. suavis visible on the ALA, but the specimens of M. suavis shown in Moths of Victoria (Part 5) have yellowish hindwings.
