Interesting find, but hard to discern which moth family it may be. Have you any closer or photos showing the head from the side?

Possibly Ardozyga genus (Gelechiidae) based on this similar looking moth: https://bie.ala.org.au/species/urn:lsid:biodiversity.org.au:afd.taxon:f0bb5ebb-372b-4eaa-848b-b1ed8df148b0#gallery
