Wing pattern rather like Trigonocyttara clandestina but thorax of this specimen too small . Perhaps Lepidoscia irrorea ?

Neuroptera, to my knowledge
- do not have spurs on their legs (shot2, 4)
- (except for dustywings - Coniopterygidae, which this is not) have translucent wings
- don't have square ended wings (shot1)
- have long 'neck' thorax with wings attached some distance from head
