I have not found a match for thsi sightinh in Nearcha (genus).
It's not T. exsectaria beaciase there is no yelow ochre head.
I favour Taxeotis, because of the shape of the antennae and the antennae and also not The least because iNaturalist's AI suggests Taxeotis (genus) options first.
Another strong possiubility is T. reserata.
