It is a Platypeza male, I think it is P. consobrina

From these pictures it cannot be identified with certainty, I think, except by a specialist. Based on wing venation it appears it cannot be
consobrina (cell cu
p being too long) but relevant characters for the other species are not visible.

I noticed this as well, Paul. But since P. atterima was mentioned already, I decided not to react again.

From my point of view, it is very nice male of
Platypeza hirticeps, note the strong head bristling!
