Might be wrong [again] but it looks like
Lonchoptera tristis Lonchopteridae in The Gallery.

Could it be
Lonchoptera lutea instead of
L. tristis? I've been searching and I see that
L. lutea is much more common than
L. tristis.

They are often not this dark and prefer grassland vegetations rather than forest

Ok, then
Lonchoptera tristis is more probable. Thank you Paul.

I can see a distinctive bend in the mid tibia. so would confidently say this is
Lonchoptera tristis
