I have been stuck on this on for the last days to be honest. Been using the key of Michael Ackland (2018), but I get no match. The few setae on the hind legs especially make it hard to match to anything. Eyes closer together, clear strong pv apical seta on hind tibia, with upper anepisternum seta and clearly longer arista hairs.
The only direction I have, it that I have seen that some of the Pegoplata species seem to have reference image of 1 av (at least much more towards the ventral side) + 2 pd (for example https://flic.kr/p...). Which is weird, the keys describe these species with 2 ad and 2 pd...
Hopefully someone else can shed some light on these.
