Looks like Euloxia fugitivaria, except for the brown head and brown forewing costa.
Not many Geometrines with those characters.
Too big for Chloephorinae?

Closely matches images of Mixochroa gratiosata on Bold Systems 4 and Flickr.

In flight the predominant colour was orange/yellow, with some green. I'll look out for it when I'm next in the area and see if i can get other shots.

Yes, the species has bright orange hindwings, not really visible here.
