Assuming your suggested ID is correct this maybe the female of the species with filamentous antennae. Males have feathered antennae judging by images online elsewhere, although I dont clearly see the the antennae in full here.

It seems they are usually quite careful to tuck them away amid their ample skirts in the daytime shots.
