Hi Dr Seow,
Is this one of the Baoris, please?
It was shot in Dairy Farm Nature Park.

Thanks,

From the abdominal end it is a female.
The antennal club has a pale area which is normally invisible in Baoris.
Also Baoris female has a more elongate body; a pale mark at HW cellend; more curved FW.
Female B. oceia.
