Eastern Clusia species
The bristles on the head and the abdominal pattern gives it away as Clusia, and it looks like C. lateralis. The only other eastern species is C. czernyi, which has a C-shaped mark on the wing (not an apical line, as seen here) and one pair of lateral scutellar bristles (not two).
