There are several brown Garrha species with variable sparse patterns of dark spots. I am not sure they can be distinguished in habitus photos.

There is certainly doubt aboutmany Garrha identifications, but G leucerythra is a common ACT species that we have chanced our arm with before and this record is very similar to the others.
