Looks like
R. recurva

 
Can't be distinguished?
Based on the keys in Metcalf's 1923 publication(1) and Dozier's 1922 dissertation(2), Rhynchomitra ["Dictyophora"] microrhina and R. recurva can't be distinguished from side views like this.

 
That's
not entirely true. Charles Bartlett says that if you have a good lateral view then you should be able to differentiate species, though having measurements of course would be the most accurate method. Bartlett agrees this looks like recurva.
