I'm assuming a firetail, but couldn't exactly match up. There were a lot around!!

Hi KorinneM. Thanks for posting and for taking photos from two angles. Yes, you're right, it's a firetail. Based on what I can see of the basal membrane of the forewing (which appears to be off-white rather than red) it is the black form of Yoyetta timothyi.
