This sighting is from the Pilabara region, tropical Western Australia, While iNaturalist's AI algorithm suggest Nearcha (genus), I'm not sure i this sighting matches N. psuodophaes. I think this is a closer match to N. staurotis which is known to occurr in the Kimberley region. See a N, staurotis record from the Kimberley here:-
