Bit dark.
The general habitus is like Phania spec.
The third antennal segment suggest Acemyia, though.
NEed to see more.

Dear Theo,
This fly is extremely dark. Even with +2 EV the fly keeps dark. :S It has only a pale patch near pronotum.
Which is the chaetotaxy that determines the species?
Do you need frontal / dorsal views?

Dear Theo,
I used my golden small loup (very good one, but amplifies only 20x), and check the shape of antennae. It is
very clear that the 3rd antennal segment drawn forwards into a pointed tip at the distal end! :D
So this must be really an Acemyia. I think it is impossible to add more with this photo. :) To chekc the possible species, tell me more info, please.

Is Metacemyia a synonym of Acemyia?

I'm sorry, Jorge, but it is not Acemyia.
The tip of the antenna is artificially bent, it seems.
In any case, it is a male Phania, it resembles and might be Ph. incrassata (but those Phania's are very similar)
