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:-

Looks good for Psilalcis isombra, a rather poor image on my part

Quite a bit worn, but fine detail seems to match

Appears quite close to Zermizinga sinuata (male), but I;m not sure its that species.
