It looks like a EGK to me.

Typical female wallaroo from this region. Compared to EGK, it has less black on forearms, feet and tail, shaggier fur, paler grey fur, unfurred between nostrils. This one has a white tail which is very common in females. Females commonly overlooked due to similarity to EGK .
