None of the pale form C. rubescens have the dark border like this. Could it be C. russata like this one

Cryptophasa russata certainly apparently has a far north tropical distribution in Far north Queensland and the Northern Territory, but most seem to be darker coloured. A minority of C. rubescens shown on the ALA have a terminal darker outter edge to the forewing, and its distribution apparently includes far North Qld., but that may not be a sufficiunt basis.
