Tried keying, but photo set lacks the necessary detail I think.
Perhaps optimistic to go anywhere on this one.

Probably a female of the pallidiventris group and if so, likely to be pallidiventris itself

A follow-up comment from Zachary Dankowicz on iNaturalist -
"I think that this is P. longiseta. The flagellum looks lighter at the base and the terminal tarsal segment is distinctly darker than the prior ones."
