It's hard to tell which Compsotropha sp. it is but it looked most like Compsotropha charidotis to me.

I'm not sure its C. charidotis given it seems to lack the clean white head of theat species and the characteristic pattern midway along the forewing. I lean towards C. strophiella. but I'm not sure. There is a similar un-named species on BOLD for tropicial Australia.
