Hi Nick,

Yes, if the arista is black as it appears - F. ruficornis is pretty rare (the only other option). I find the three black seta on the apice of the mid-femora as you show a good hint too.

I think there's a better-publicised thing about the abdomen, but I'm not sure off-hand.

Take care,

Jason

EDIT: Separation of cuprea/ruficornis - cuprea has black aristae, ruficornis' are orange.
