Before starting with a generic key, I'd like to ensure that
Estheria is the correct genus.

Yes, and my guess is female E. petiolata

Great, I was struggling with the key a bit, so wanted to make sure the genus is correct.
I excluded
cristata, as I counted 4 post-sut dc. The basicosta looks quite dark and the bent vein is not clouded, which would suggest
petiolata, but the area around m-cu should not be browned, whereas it looks a bit clouded to me, so this was my main area of uncertainty

I can't assess the cloudecness of the crossvein, hence "my guess". Humerus looks grey to me.
