There is a matching specimen photo on the ALA by Ken Harris labelled Barea sp. Sighting 4241442 looks similar and has been identified as Barea codrella.

See also the detailed discussion at Sighting No. 3871990 suggesting Barea sp. may be the safest interim ID, yet G,Cocking suggests there may be corresponding and similar ANIC specimens similar to this but different to B. codrella. So now we seem to have at least 3 similar looking sightings of this distinctive looking moth.

The pale dorsal spot on the metathorax looks to be unique among common Barea Group species.
