    Likely Pyroneura helena.

    The picture quality is very poor & the colour balance is off.

    P. helena have a large rectangular hyaline spot in HW space 4-5, surrounded by dark bars.
    FW margin with the orange continuous along the margin.
    No other species quite match these.
    See fieldshot at the bottom.

    Isma bononia.
    The UnH has a series of hyaline spots edged in black making a meandering pattern.
    The hyaline spots can be difficult to discern.
