The closest match I've found so far is Opogona protodoxa, but I'm not yet sure its that species.

After now looking ar the several iNaturfalist postings I'm suggesting O. protodoxa. I think there is probably a leaf and deep shadow in the photo suggesting more blackish marking around the head than would be typical of the species.
