A few different views might take this to species, although Lampkin's Law states that whatever the expert wants to see is what I didn't shoot.
Interesting, I don't recall ever being able to count the individual hairs of the mystax.
All images shot in the field, hand-held.

Looks like Diogmites sallei. Wing veins are definitely Diogmites with the closed cell. Saropogon has different wing venation pattern.
