I´m sorry I have no idea and keys beginn with the wing venation, in case noone identifies it I could try with the book if you had a wing view, (I hope someday I´ll be able to take photos like that, at least) regards

- dm-cu present -> not Microsaniinae
- absence of median fork -> Callomyiinae: Callomyia or Agathomyia.
I daren´t say more, try yourself, I´m not sure to distinguish this:
* R1 has short spines, Tibia II with with 2 apical spurs - C.
* R1 without " ", Tibia II with 1 pv - A.
In case somebody helps, I would follow
Just micro-help, sorry Frown

Wow, species level, thanks Paul! Thanks also to you paqui for showing the key. I'll leave it as A. cf. antennata, as I noticed some doubt on your response Paul.Pfft
