Most likely O. antiphates
O. antiphates and O. dimidiatus have overlapping characters, based on what I've seen from series of specimens ranging from NA into SA (as I commented in another thread), but due to the lack of the bluish hues on the abdomen and wholly yellow face (which I am assuming based on the pics...), it is likely O. antiphates.
