Difficult to call,
great pictures, but angles are just not convenient (I know, I'm never satisfied).
My first impression was nudifrons, but having a closer look, specially at the last ones, I think the pics are somewhat misleading and it might actually be a female G. rotundatum.

Thanks a lot Theo! (and Chris!)
I'm already happy that the pics are well :) Anyway it's desirable to learn what your necessaries are to serve you the "right" pics.
From this female a have a lot of pics. Which part would you like to see closer?
Or should I stay with female Gymnosoma cf rotundatum?

Best would be a shot from the head from above and obliquely from front with excellent lighting.
That is the problem above: there seems to be shades interferring, which makes it very difficult to call.
We need to see the length of the black strip on parafrontal relative to the antennal base.
