Best guess. I ruled out Olbonama trypticha (for which some lack the dark band midrif on the forewing). There are some examples of A. automima which show yellowish markings in the terminal black area of the forewing ( see ALA).

Do not think the shape of the basal band is correct, not projecting backwards on the inner margin. Though not clear in my image, the base of the palps is dark in A. automima

I agree the base of the pals are black in M. automima, but I'm not sure I can see the colour clearly enough in this specimen. This specimen clealry shows striped antennae which is a feature shared by M. automima on iNaturalist, although I found this feature difficult to verify in the Bold 4 specimens online. Striped antennau aslo show on severel of the speciemns of M. automima on Canberra Nature map.
