Species ID
The hyaline wing tips and lack of a narrow darkened submarginal band indicates P. pallidolimbata. If there is any question about this being a P. thisbe with its dark submarginal band being especially pale, that can be ruled out from the presence of a prominent metapleural tubercle...which can be seen by zooming in on the image here in ones browser window.
