I think this can be Fannia postica female.

Neither postica (Stein) nor posticata (Meig.)
Why not simply F.canucularis?

I was also thinking of the pair F. canicularis/difficilis because of the yellowish coloration in the base of abdomen.

But haven't got the key right now here so can't say what their difference in females was and if it's visible here.

Yes, canicularis it must be. I went wrong in very early part of the key with parafascial setae. Thank You, I believe it's correct now.
