It's very hard to see any detail in those photos - they are so dark. But it looks like a siphoniine ... possibly Peribaea or Actia or something like that, but I'd need to see the side and top views much clearer to be sure

Very likely Peribaea, given the antennal shape Theo |

Yeah, I did a bit of PhotoShopping on the image here and I just couldn't quite see that pair of pleural hairs, so I wasn't 100% sure. With a higher resolution image it might have been possible.

Ahh, not exactly - the bristles that would make it a Peribaea are on the side of the body, behind the head
