No underside photo as yet @donhe, I will try next time but I do not have a good setup for underside photos.

For what it's worth, iNaturalist''s AI suggested Larentia apotoma based on some underside photos which are not dissimilar.

The pinned images of Larentia apotoma in Moths of Vic CD 1/2 show this moth has squared, not well rounded hindwings or see
