Mecistogaster buckleyi

I think this female is Mecistogaster Buckleyi. The wing pattern seems to fit that species the best, with the big white tip on the hindwing. But correct me if I'm wrong.
Compared to female linearis the wings seem relatively longer compared to the abdomen (or abdomen seems shorter compared to wing length). Moreover the thorax pattern differs from both linearis and ornata my photos. So at least it seems clear that there's a different type of Mecistogaster around.
The last photo is the original.
