Difficult ID

Another moth photograph taken last week and I had a difficult time trying to identify the species as there are a number of similar coloured and patterned moths.


Finally I thought I had it nailed but then I was worried as there had been few sightings so had to ask an expert. He thought it was a different species and looking at the reference he gave I found a better match. A female moth in the CATOCALINAE family  Ericeia plaesoides.
