Hi Lauren. I've also had a look at your beautiful moth and can't find an exact match either. I will certainly keep looking for you.

Hi Sukanya, Thank you! It sure looks like a Bracca! I can't find an exact match but the orange head makes it look closest to B. matutinata which is Australian. So, I don't know what to think yet.
