I know this might be tricky but can you photograph the terminalia? It looks like a male
Ernestia/Eurithia (possibly
Ernestia rudis) so they should be fairly large :)

Hi Dima
The closest I can get (and I am fairly confident) is
Eurithia connivens :) The small (yes "small" -
consobrina has an even bigger one!!) triangular process on the syncercus is quite distinctive - along with the 3 post-sutural dc; 2 marginals on T4; and very narrow vertex.
I don't think I have seen
connivens very often here, so it might be one of the more uncommon species but I doubt it is 'rare', as such. I usually get
anthophila or
consobrina in good numbers most years. :)
Best wishes,
Chris R.
