It looks like P. cinerea in head structure and wing pattern, but these moths are grey rather than brown. Cath, was it greyer in real life that it appears in the photo? It's "common" in inland S NSW at this time of year.

It was very pale, almost white, but was I think more grey than brown. The main image is closest to what I remember.

For me, that confirms P, cinerea

Could sighting 4257177 (which has been stuck in Unidentified Insects along with various other moths), be the same thing? It was clearly grey.

Yes, it is. I can't identify the record at the moment, as this name isn't properly entered to the taxonomy, and I can't get into the taxonomy.
