 It looks weird, maybe the colouration is off.

Note that the apical scutellar bristles are erect, so first impression is male Meigenia.

 The propleuron (the thoracic plate below the humerus) should be hairy, but this will be very difficult to photograph due to shadowing of flashes.

 I think this shows the propleuron.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
