Searching for the name of this fly. I thought that it looks a lot like a Phasia species. Is that correct? And is there more to say about this beautiful fly?

Ectophasia sp. (male) :) They look superficially similar but with Phasia spp. the median vein is petiolate and on Ectophasia it isn't.

Thank you for your rapid answer. I will try to study the differences. I suppose that more than Ectophasia spec can't be made of this picture. I send another one. Does that make any difference?
