Looks a bit like B. periodica, but there is only one photo online from life to compare it with: a southern coastal location.

I agree that out of the 107 illustrated Barea specie in BOLD, this specimen looks most like B. periodica, but all the Barea species look to be very variable. I think the wing patterns are not diagnostic enough to identify this specimen to a species.
