Tricimba, Chloropidae?

Thanks Walter. Chloropidae did cross my mind:).

I'd say Ephydridae

it is Ephydridae 100%.
Maybe around Pelina or Discocerina?
One for Tony.

It has a very Chloropidae look. My guess is
Aphanotrigonum.

It does have one, but not as conspicuous as in other genera.
Tricimba is also a good guess, I didn't see Walter's answer.

Chloropidae for certain (winge venation does not correspond with that of Ephydridae). Don't think this is
Tricimba.
Aphanotrigonum stands a better chance.

Thank you guys:)! It's a very ephydrid-like chloropid. It looks like Hecamede.
