Either Balta sp. or Ellipsidon sp. The colour has me thinking more likely Ellipsidon sp. Was it in leaf litter or more out in the open?

....was actually on low branch of flowering wattle, approx 1m off ground (within the STEP habitat)....

Thanks. The makes is more likely to be Ellipsidon sp. but the colour is different to Ellipsidion australe. Roger or Kim?

Resembles Ellipsidion humerale as illustrated in David Rentz's 'A guide to the cockroaches of Australia', but that species is said to occur in the northern half of the continent.
