I dont see the arcs of chevrons of P. bistrigula, or the kidney and comma marks of other Proteuxoa, so I agree with P. porphyrescens

As Don pointed out, the photo doesn't show the typical forewing marks of Proteuxoa. It is probably Dasygaster paddockina.

D. paddockina is highly variable and the general spae and jizz looks right.
