Yes, a stunning moth. I can't find any match either. Other angles might help.

I have added in a second photo but more or less from the same angle, so not sure it will help too much.

Yes,apparently Eochrois caminias is the best guess, supported by views expressed on iNaturalist (P. Hendry and Victor Fazio); but if correct clearly a variable, and/or perhaps sexually dimorphic speces. (I had looked at E. caminias but wasn't convinced initially). There is a very broad trailing edge dark band in this specimen,

I agree, best match we can find and a suitable holding place. I am not sure about the palps (above) base seems very textured. Many iNat ones have dark base to the palps, not BOLD. BOLD has only WA specimens. Are east Australian ones on iNat and NM the same species or a very similar one?
