I photographed this fly sitting on a Cycad (Pretoria, South Africa). Any help with an ID will be appreciated.

Sorry, mea culpa: fine details were poorly visible and when I enlarged the picture I found out that I saw the lobe of cubital cell, which does not exist!!! I must correct myself: this is a Platystomatidae, apparently Elassogaster arcuata Hendel Val |
