Fair comment. These similar looking streaked Gelechioid mothsmoths I always find challenging.

There do seem to be Leistarcha (genus) species with rounded forewing tips.

I don't think this is Leistarcha scitissimella, the wing shape is wrong. Above moth has rounded wings, Leistarcha scitissimella has pointed wings.

A first sighting of this species on NatureMapr and for NatureMapr's Canberra and Southern Tablelands region if confirmed. Excellent photo.
