Ocyptamus fascipennis ...
Ocyptamus fascipennis ...... female.
Markings on wings noticeably wider at costa edge than posterior margin.

Ocyptamus lemur?

 
Thanks Mr Bill and Mr James.
Thanks Mr Bill and Mr James. I do believe this is Ocyptamus lemur. The wing veins are exactly the same. I have several photos to compare. Would it be a female and if so, how can you tell this? Thank you!

 
Better match for fascipennis
based on reasons given above. The wing marking is slightly more extensive than lemur.

Widely separated eyes probably indicates a female.

 
Well great. Thanks so much!
