A. huebneri also typically has 4 submarginal forewing hyaline spots. This has 3. The spot sizes, shapes and positions of this specimen looks to me consistent with those of published images of several other identified Amata species, and given the variability of these species, I do not feel confident in assigning a species to this specimen.

I could not find any other sp with matching forewings. The location FN Qld is appropriate too. We ID plenty of moths without hindwings.

The diagnostic pale basal hindwing fascia for A. huebneri is obscured in this photo, so I think we cannot tell the species.
