i maybe answered my own question as i was about to post this, but am unsure

i wanted to ask you all to help identify this one,
... it is maybe a Keelbacked Leafhopper, Antianthe expansa

however, you can see, the stern of her keelback is a very pronounced 'horn', in line, downward, with her keel.
i haven't seen this on good photographs of expansa

she was almost a centimeter long

anybody have a confirmation or refined identification?

she was very low-key, totally tolerant of an extremely close camera, and a dozen pops of the strobe,
she could've 'bugged out' at any moment, as i found out when i was finished, and she flew away
