Just a guess here as this seems to have the most similar-looking critters. Have looked through BG images and MPG specimens for this subfamily and have not found a solid match. Color/pattern seems quite distinct. A bit active - would move in almost a circular motion, keeping head/front of body in one place and rotating back around in almost a circle a few times.
