I think it's not M. taeniata, which should have thicker vittae on scutum:

Thank you! Not much luck with Miltogramminae...

Another suggestion, maybe?

Unfortunately not yet - M. taeniata had been my suggestion, too...

Here's your fly - but filed as taeniata... https://observati...319851478/

Taeniatum has black antenna, so that is a nogo.
