Can you check the frons and see if the ocellar triangle is enlarged. It has a chloropid feel to it (though the few of the wing venation with the wings in this position are not immediately indicative of that family).

I would say the ocellar triangle is not enlarged, although I am not experianced in such features. However I have noticed there appears to be a break in the costa which Stephen Gaimari has told me means it is not a Lauxaniidae.
