Those Gonia are pretty difficult and this one looks odd.

Did you flash or is it the reflection of the sun ?

I did not flash, it's just the sunlight. I can add some more photos, maybe they can help.

As said, colours are weird. It is a female, most kikely a dark ornata. Without a frontal shot I cannot be sure.
