    It is most likely a female H. syrinx.


    The female H. syrinx also have a large white FW spot.

    In H. syrinx the HW white band at the lower end (after the bend) is short & irregularly thicken. It also does not reach the margin.

    In H. onyx. this part of the white band is long & straight, reaching the margin.

    Your butt have this part of the white band straight suggesting H. onyx but too short & not reaching the margin.

    All correct examples of H. onyx have this part long & straight, reaching the margin , whatever the subspecies.
