wow!!! did you collect it? May you can send it to me? It is not an Acrocera: check the absence of antennae near the ocellar zone. (also Acrocera has no a spike in the wing, and wing venation is simpler than this one)
It can be a Pterodontia or a very near genus. I would like to see better the wing venation. Also the frontal shot to see the place of antennae and the shape, and to the calypters (below the point where the wings inserst in the body, best seen in lateral view).
