The abdomen seems very red, more like Peleteria - do you have any better shots of the face? I could convince myself that there are Peleteria-bristles but it is hard to be sure.  |

There are, moreover, the ocellar bristles are lacking, so this really is Peleteria. Theo |

Oh, I have little doubt it is P. rubescens female. Theo |
