I have suggested Lepidoscia sp. (genus) mainly because of the similarity of this moth with L. confluens. however I'm not sure the small patch of white is present on the head of this specimen.

I think I can see raised light yellow scales on top of the head in this photo, as in L. confluens

Also looks similar to Lepidoscia glabrella https://bie.ala.org.au/species/urn:lsid:biodiversity.org.au:afd.taxon:9b246781-09ea-4fed-84da-be0f570b7cdd

It matches L. confluens best, with stronger basal and sub-apical marks. There is also a similar undescribed species, making three similar species present on the southern tablelands.
