Thanks Mark. I checked this site already and for a layperson like me any guess is pretty dodgey and I would have got it wrong for sure.
This ID was from Dr Mark Harvey at the WA Museum via Ken Walker. I think you will find it in BB. I copied it here as there is no notification system in BB.
Yes, that might be because you have sharper eyes than me.
This is my first sighting in Victoria.
