What i can see looks a bit like Opogona protodoxa. Opogona (genus)?

Of the 138 species of Opogona listed on BOLD, one (and only one) seems to have forewing dark markings on the marginal end of the hind margin, and a dark line along the basal part of the costa: Opogona sp. 19, from WA and S. Qld.

@ibaird @donhe sorry the photos aren't great, it was tiny and moving fast. I found it when I flipped over a rock.
