bit pale for H. vagella ? Faveria tritalis ?

Palps wrong for F. tritalis I suggest.
Another pale example here:
Homoeosoma vagella (Macadamia Flower Caterpillar)
Although I admit the apparent lack of a diagonal black mark on the forewing is not supportive.

I also don't think it has the markings for Homoeosoma vagella
