My vote is for Philobota diaereta on the grounds that the longitudinal dark stripe is more spreading towards the apex and it's buff rather than white like pilipes. but distinguishing these three species is difficult, and these photos don't show all.

Yes: P.diaereta seems to a have a dogleg in the stripe, which I imagine I see in this photo, although a simple lateral view would have made it easier to tell.
