It is the Contiguous Swift ,Polytremis lubricans.
The shape of the 2 FW spots are typical.
FW spot 2 is typically proportionately larger than in other Swifts.

This is Potanthus serina (Large Dart) because
1. No spot on HW S6
2. Apical spots separate fro spots on S4 and 5.
3. Spot on S5 not completely detached from S6.
