It's like Oenochroa lactella, but more like an undescribed species (Oenochroa sp. ANIC13 on BOLD), both of which have been recorded in or nearby ACT. There are probably other Oenochroa prospects, especially if we could see the hindwing clearly. I'm thinking the hindwing is orange. There is another similar undescribed species that has been recorded often in the ACT as well as more widely in the south-east, but the match is not as good. It isn't on BOLD.
