There were several of these rather nice Drosophildae on Trametes fungi. It has very thick hind femora. Can we get anywhere near genus/species for the gallery?

Normally the only Odinia on bracket fungi is O. boletina (there's a misnamed species for you !),,but yours has rather faint markings on the cross-veins. Since it is a male I should be able to get further...please send me the specimen.
