My answer has flown away, not like this fly. I had proposed
Helina evecta /
annosa, because of the 2+2 katepisternal setae and because I could guess some small hairs under post. spiracle. If no "Phaonia bristle" and crossveins darkened, it would confirm this...

crossveins are clearly darkened, that's why I told this is a Phaonia. I saw that Phaonia bristle. I only can take photos soon.
But if this is really a Phaonia sp. which would be? ;)

As far as I know, Phaonia haven't two strong anterior katepisternal setae, so Helina is still my guess...

hmm... yeah. You have reason. Really they are very conspicuous. And there are 2 posterior katapisternal bristles. No bristles in meron. :( It would be nice to have Egynia. :D
