Any suggestions for a genus (group), though I have no close up of the terminalia?

Length about 4 mm.

It reminds me of Einfeldia pagana but the gonostylus may not be swollen enough.

Many thanks, John. Not swollen enough just for E. pagana or even for Einfeldia?

The other species of Einfeldia is darker (black stripes). It may be pagana but I'm not sure.
