The larger, diffuse wing mark suggests E. xanthiella rather than E. aurinatella.
A new species for NatureMapr's Canberra and Southern tablelands region if confirmed.
Excellent photo.

@ibaird fantastic, thank you! I finally gave in and bought a proper camera and a good telephoto lens.

Great photo! Be aware of dangers posed by the new camera - you may not find time to eat/sleep/work/study etc . . . (well, that's the story of my life, anyway . . .)

@lisah haha, definitely finding that! Thankfully I'm self-employed with part-time work as a botanist/ecologist with an ecological consulting company, so I can mostly bring the camera along. I do find myself looking a lenses/harnesses/filters of an evening though!!
