Looks like Sp(4) in MoV Part 3

Yes, it does look like 'Poecalisthena sp.(4)' as decsribed in Moths of Victoria (Part 3)'s supporting files, however perhaps because of the foreshortened angle of the image, the expected faint spot in the forewing on either side is not clearly visible except perhaps on the RHS. Do you have any other phtos of this moth which show a black spot on the forewing as expected?

Apologies for the poor quality photos, and no, I didn't take any more.
