Another Elhamma? If so colour variation is huge. This one quite a pale beige in overall colour. The rest have been more chocolate brown.
Have to be one of the hairiest moths around.

I agree the forewing pattern and size are consistent with Elhamma, but I do not recall seeing an Elhamma that hairy. This is more like Lasiocampidae, Lymantriinae or Notodontidae?

There are E. australasiae examples on ALA with similar markings e.g.:-

And several are quite hirsute looking e.g.
