I do not see a woolly head. I couldn't find a match in Tachystola, Hemibela or Plectobela.

Perhaps it is male, old, and hence now bald.

I think I can see short upcurved palpi, and the pattern is close to Coeranica isabella, maybe within the range of variation.

Local photo by D. Hobern at Aranda (see ALA) shows the pink colouration.
