Unfortunately i do not think we can be confident of the species without rearing the caterpillar to adulkthood,

Very similar to this one of mine Pholodes sinistraria https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/111632349 which I incorrectly id'd as H. talaca. H. talaca in LBH http://lepidoptera.butterflyhouse.com.au/enno/talaca.html also looks similar as does the 1st image http://lepidoptera.butterflyhouse.com.au/enno/sinistraria.html
Maybe, Don can tell the difference :)

Early instars of several disparate Geometrid species look like this.
