I assume this is another Platybrachys sp. It landed on the carpet in front of me as I opened the front door. It then flew up to a (dirty) window, and the second pic is from the other side of the window.

Very interesting. I suspect this is within variation of P. decemmacula which can lack the pale band. They normally have an orange side area (but not always).
