Looking at Moths of Victoria (MoV) supporting disc (Part 5) I think its likely you are correct. MoV say the colour is variable from grey to reddish-brown but this moth does seems reddish in colour. They also say the wavy forewing line is less clear in the males which fits this specimen. I note that MoV say A. anepsicepta is likely to actually be a member of the Furcatrox genus. There is an obvious similarity.
