Are all these photos of the same individual? The first image seems to have a greenish tinge which is suggestive of Poecilasthena spp.

Don. my thoughts were similar to yours. Some examples of Scopula see to have a projecting abdomen but that's inconclusive I think. A tentative ID I think.

I think the projecting abdomen rules out Poecilasthena spp. Could be a sex thing.
