D. plumipes?
The pale abdominal bands rule this down to either D. plumipes or D. dorsata. From what I'm seeing, there's no pale markings on the legs or pronotum (which I'm seeing on most of George's IDs for D. dorsata). But, manual keying with Bradley (1928) also looks at the color of the clypeus (entirely black in D. plumipes, yellow lateral margins in D. dorsata).
