I have been finding quite a few of this one too - during the day and mainly in acacia

More shots showing profile MIGHT help with ID. More details of palps, does it have 'eye cap' on antennae (maybe a hint of this above?), any markings on costa, hindwing colour .... BUT such plain moths in a group with SO MANY options is hard.
