Seems worn and is similar to Dichromodes oriphoetes which would fit the montane location.

It is not quite montane - only 733 m on the lower slopes of Mt Tennant.

Not withstanding the above comments; and given we cannot see the hindwing colour, the relatively low contrast colouring of the forewing and given the relaltive low altitude of the record I suggest this record might be better classified at D. ainaria.
