This indeed magnificent fly is a Cornutrypeta, and it might well be C. triceratops. But it's difficult to tell from this photo's. For a possitive ID I need to know the colour of the fifith tarsomere and a good view of the side of the head, in order to be able to see how many orbital setae it has (not the extraordinary large frontal setae).
