While this is not very similar to the E. excusaria specimens already posted on CNM, there is quite a close match with examples on Moths of Victoria (Part 7) and on the supporting disc. The moth shows the strong kink in the black forewing line characteristic of E. excusaria. The end of the hindwing line can't be seen to check whether there is a step at its end which is also characteristic of E/ exusaria.
