 Jorge, having had a second look, this is not in chalinata group, which species have only 3 post dc. I don't know this fly (unless I miss something). Could you send it to me ?

 ok. Stéphane. I'll try collect more to Nikita, and Joke. I will send this for you, but it will take a while because I want to catch more muscids.
