I'll go with T. pseudofasciata, but it is still a bit tentative.

Moved from Trimerotropis.

hard to be sure from this photo,
but based on your description, he is probably Trimerotropis pseudofasciata, which has clear hind wings usually tinted bluish (at most a faint dark cross band). The other common one in that area that looks like this is T. pallidipennis, which has pale yellow wings crossed by a curved black band. When the wings are folded, they look alike, but are usually easy to tell apart if viewed in profile, though not so when viewed from directly above.
