Leucostoma ? I said Labigaster
Secondly, the calypter is enlarged, a clear sign of Leucostomini. As is the silvery face.
Thirdly, in male Phania speculifrons, the vertex is 0,75 -0,8 x width of an eye. In your pic, it is much smaller ....
In Phania, the bend of median vein is much closer to wing margin.
In both Phania and Labigaster discal bristles are lacking
In Dionaea, they can be present. And there seem to be some small hairs on parafacial....
So my current hypothesis is Dionaea, next of kin to Labigaster.
Definitely not Phania for the reasons given above.
