Melormenis basalis?
It’s certainly not M. pruinosa. Looks like M. basalis to me.

Genus is Melormenis
The species is Melormenis basalis, which would be in the Tribe Nephesini on BugGuide, if it were included on BugGuide. On iNaturalist, it’s in the Subtribe Cryptoflatina, which is also in the tribe Nephesini.
