The big eyes and golden colouration suggest Senometopia.
The antenna is a bit long, though.
Need to check this.

Seems to have bare eyes? Something exotic to me. It has strongish ocellar bristles, so cannot be Drino either?

You are right eyes are bare.

the ocellars are actually lacking (?), you mean the frontal bristles ?

So now I'm thinking either Drino or Thelyconychia.
Pity we cannot estimate the gena.

Wait a moment.
We are barking up the wrong tree.

you can see erect apical scutellars in the second pic.
If you then have a close look at the right wing, you might observe that the distance between cross-vein m-cu and the bend of m is very large.

So this must be Bactromyia aurulenta, which agrees with the bare eyes, the long antennae and the golden colouration.
Right ?

Now when you mention! This is newly emerged, usually the pollination wears off to be less striking. Bactromyia also has this "short-legged" appearance in wild.
