It does look similar which is why I thought it was the same species. There are differences eg this one has more brown on the wing edge and the last yellow band is narrower.

Could this one be Decatopseustis xanthastis? https://bold-au.hobern.net/specimen.php?processid=ANICX311-11

Decatopseustis xanthastis seems to have a black thorax.
