Hello everyone!

Could anyone help me with the ID of this fly please ? It was captured in a mango orchard in Reunion Island!

Thanks in advance!

Rhodesiella ?rugosa, male, Chloropidae. Typical are: Anepisternum (= mesopleuron) with many short hairs, hind margin of eye concave, long arista and often long scutellum. Many undescribed species in tropical regions!
