The wiggly lines are very similar to CNM's Calathuse sp nr dispila, but the white overlay isn't. Calathusa dispila itself seems to be a coastal species (eg, see iNAT)

I’ve noticed the whitish overlay as being present in some Calathusa spp. Seems particularly prominent here due to being ‘caught’ by the camera’s flash? A similar mark also seems to present in this coastal record called C. dispila by Victor Fazio on the ALA:
