Sallow Clearwing?

 Re lures, I have VES running. I got the first Orange-tailed Clearwing within 10 minutes. After releasing that one I had a further 5 or 6 in 30 mins plus another one. I've been told it's a Sallow Clearwing?

    Hi Mark,
    To me that looks like an Orange-tailed Clearwing which has suffered a bird attack, or has in some other way managed to lose the the orange scales at the extreme rear of its abdomen.
