Periscelidae, perhaps? - some of the Neotropical species are known to have brown-marked wings

Thanks, you guys are great. I'm not great with a key, but using the key to Neotropical Periscelididae in Brown (2010), this would be subfamily Periscelidinae, since it has ocellar setae, and since it has one fronto-orbital bristle instead of two.
