OK, so bit unlikely........ This specimen holding its middle pair of legs out sideways : a common characteristic of Stathmopodinae ?

Common suggests that a difference between Stathmodpoda and Erectmocera is that the latter have ocelli. Not easily distinguished in a field photo.

E. coracopis? https://bold-au.hobern.net/specimen.php?processid=ANIAE1179-11 or maybe ANIC2 https://bold-au.hobern.net/specimens.php?taxid=414579 but these were found in Qld

Two of the four E. coracopis images on BOLD show no pale marks on the forewings. The other two show vague pale marks that look rather like frictional scale loss.
