I hope Jere or Nikita could confirm my guess. The thickened arista in basal part, the typical frons with very large frontal triangle and multiple rows of setae let me think it's Neolimnophora . Moreover, the 2 rows presut. ac. with small one between them and small size lead to Neolimnophora virgo (Villeneuve,1906).
Neolimnophora is sea coasts genus, so, it is at most only locally common.


As more I see, I'm convinced that this is really a Neolimnophora virgo. Silvery dusting, that typical triangle on frons, the absence of abdominal spots, the absence of pv in hind femur...
let's go wait for Nikita or Jere for final confirmation. :D
