I usually refrain from attempting to ID these, but this one strikes me as quite different, and it seems to have only 3 post-sut dc, so how far can it be IDed?

My Diptera observations (and other living forms) can be found here, and corrections or comments over there would also be appreciated.

Thanks Theo,
I took a different route as I could only see 3 post-sut dc's, and the 3rd antennal segment seems to be wider than the fore femure, which shoulc exclude paludosa according to Tschorsnig's key
