The image seems structurally consistent with Philobota, and the pattern is consistent with Philobota diaereta, the Philobota sp that has most often been recorded in the ACT from those that are plain with a dark streak set well back from the costa. But the photo is too indistinct to even be certain it is a Philobota.
