I've seen a few of those around our place, I can never understand why, if they are so perfectly camouflaged for bark, they choose to spend the day on white window frames!

Hi Nick

 

It's a Geometrid (Subfamily Ennominae,Tribe Boarmiini) and looks like Scioglyptis lyciaria to me. See for example https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/451013-Scioglyptis-lyciaria

This moth was on the window next to our front door yesterday morning. I
haven't been able to find a match for it in Canberra Nature Map or a
couple of other online resourses. Can anyone tell me what it is?
Wingspan was about 6cm.
