The forewing costas are very pale. Idaea costaria ?

costaria should have white between the antennae

I think maybe just the same pale colour as the costal lines giving them apparent continuity.

Don, Check Moths of Victoria Vol 3 page 2 of both inversata and costaria under the Idaea folder on the CD
