Hello!
I had thought this was Minettia inusta, it is one I have but this one seemed to be a little darker infuscated on the cross veins. I'm not sure if I have had a male before though.
The confusion arose when I came across
Palloptera quinquemaculata which has the extra dark spots, as well as a more orange head.
Then I came across a photo in the gallery of
Minettia inusta which also appears to have some extra dark spots as well as an orange head.
I am now confused. :S
