On this photo I nearly can see if the arista is indeed long haired, what suggest Hylemya, so maybe a crop to confirm it.
If so….Hylemya seems right, but if it is indeed H. vagans, I can’t say for sure, because the male of H. urbica also can have the tibia very yellowish / brownish.
I need to see the present or absent (H. vagans) of the subapical ad seta on the midfemur and if the occiput is bare (H. vagans) or not.
So I have doubt between H. vagans and H. urbica (both common)
H. variata mostly has the tibia more brownish / black (less common)
