First time I challenge Pkatypezidae :o.
All you said about family and gender is correct.
1) dm-cu present, no median fork, 1st tarsomere III really elongate -> s.f. Callomyiinae
2) 1st flagellomere short/conical (I admit not much visible), R1 with micro-spines (clearly visible in the last photo...zooming a little in the sc area) ->
Callomyia sp.
C. elegans male.
Hope the description is useful. Otherwise sorry for all this speeches! :)

The yellow halterae indicate that this is either C. amoena or C. elegans. I cannot decide between these two.

C. elegans has silver abdominal markings on apical margins of T3 and T4, while this one has not them. So you can exclude
elegans.
