a side view of the head would be appreciated - perhaps including the legs too? Grin

Hmm, too many things are unclear for me to say for sure. It's got very few features that narrow the identification down - but the yellow palp; hairy eyes; 4 black stripes on the anterior thorax; and the huge ad bristle on the mid tibia are pretty good. It doesn't seem to have bristles on the facial ridge or very far down the face too. Can't quite see the colour of the hairs behind the head OR the arrangement of the scutellar bristles though. Would be nice to see the number and arrangement of bristles on the thorax - pre and post sutural and humeral callus too.

There... a short shopping list for you Wink

There should be bristles on the facial ridge, not clear on the picture.
Given the large male genitalia and the clear fold coming out of the bend of vein M, this can only be Phorocera.
Since the scutellum is dark, it is a male of Ph. obscura.
Very common spring species in deciduous forests

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
