Looks very much like a Barea species, quite likely as good a photo of B. zygophylla as can be seen online. Looks very close to Cathy Power's photo on LBH.

AFD, ALA, and BOLD have no species named Barea zygophylla. Did you mean Barea zygophora (Turner, 1889) ? Katarina's photo here is a good match to Cathy's photo of B. zygophora on the Coffs website. Sadly the CNM system at present will not let me suggest it.

We have very similar moths on CNM identified as Barea phaeomochla. I haven't yet worked out how to reliably tell these two species apart .
