Welcome to this forum!

This is Fanniidae
If arista haired Piezura sp.
If arista is bare Fannia sp.
Important for male Fanniidae is a good view on the midtibia and if possible (mostly very difficult to photograph) a view on the mid and hind coxa.
Female are mostly difficult to ID from photos

The Piezuras are more yellow than this, so it's a Fannia.
