I think this
Pales pavida.
Is this correct?

I don't see any bristles on the facial ridges so it shouldn't be
Pales ... but it might be something like
Phryxe ... did you get a specimen?

No specimen I'm afraid. Thanks anyway.

must be a trick of the picture: it is a female Pales pavida
(colouration of abdomen and scutellum, shape of calypter, only 1 reclinate orbital !!)
