Not from a picture, and especially not from a picture that is no longer available. Could you upload the pcap file somewhere on a public share like dropbox, onedrive, etc and post the link here?

Thanks for uploading the file and making sure the picture is available. The only things I can deduct are:

  1. IP address 112.11.202.22 Geo-locates to China
  2. Port 8999 might be related to Crypto, backup or quicktime (or something else completely)
  3. The packets are sent out every ~29 sec, which is kind-of odd (usually one would then see around 30 sec interval)
  4. Most UDP payload is the same in every packet, except for byte offset 4-7. These 32 bits seem to count up. As the value increases with ~29000000 between the packets, this looks like a microsecond counter.

Hope this helps a bit...

I don't know what that traffic is, but to take the discovery process a little further:

If you own/control 192.168.31.177, you could check to see if their is a UDP listener for that traffic coming in. If so, the name of the executable might give you a clue. As admin/root, in Linux, you could try

netstat -unlp

or in Windows,

netstat -p udp -nab

Since it is a Dell mac, I am assuming that it is not MacOS.

Look for UDP port 8999 in the results listing; is their an executable? If so, see if you can find where it came from. Maybe the folder it is in... or from Google.
