I now do not believe this is Hestiochora furcata, the female is described as “very dark, almost without translucent parts, whereas those of the other three species (continentalis, queenslandensis & intermixta) have stripes on the forewing”. See Sighting 4499751 which I believe is good for furcata
I believe it is Hestiochora intermixta based on a recent sighting, see Sighting 4577402 which is a male the abdomen markings are the same and both have the yellow in the forewing which is found mostly in this species and queenslandensis which has the male with black on the frons and vertex
Tarmann states, with reference to intermixta, "It is partly sympatric with, and externally very similar to, H. queenslandensis, sharing with it the yellowish scales on the wings"
