Looks quite similar to Ectropis plectroneura, although that species is a WA, SA and western NSW species jufgding by the online maped distribution.

I'm not convinced it matches E. sodaliata. I don't think the forewing trailing margin pattern matches that species. Basal pattern on forewing nearer the head doesn't seem to match No hint of a lighter hindwing.

I don't think there was any lightness when it was flying ... which was often. This is why the photo isn't particularly good. I couldn't get close enough. And the light was probably a bit dim and I probably didn't have the best settings on the camera. Might see another.
