Dipped R4+5 vein with yellow and black abdominal pattern indicates one of Didea or Eriozona. In Didea there is a black border on the abdominal edge; no border in Eriozona. Oddly tricky to tell on your dorsal shot, but on the ventral one here you can clearly see the yellow bands extending to the edge of the abdomen.
