It looks very similar to what has previously been identified as Dipsiathus pallidifrons but I suspect that identification is wrong. iNat and ALA sightings of Dipsiathus pallidifrons look quite different.

Yes Kat, you're right that it's not a Dipsiathus. It's in Plectoderini, but images of the members of that tribe are hard to come by.
