I think the shape of the thorax and the hind margin of the forewing doesn't look like D. intermixtaria and the reniform mark seems to lack the distinctive white mark on the inner side which is so characteristic of D. intermixtaria. I thinking this is likely to be the reddish form of the widespread Australothis rubescens.
