A dorsal shot showing the back of the fly and the wing venation would be useful :)

There are 4 post DC, right ? DIfficult to see.
It seems to be a Exoristini, in which case it would be Parasetigena silvestris
a male

Wow ... "again" ... I have never seen one here and never even been sent one, so they can't be too common ;)

It is not Parasetigena silvestris, tergite 3 this one two marginal bristles, Parasetigena silvestris 2 discal bristles and 4 marginal bristles.
On the scutellum this one 2 lateral bristles, Parasetigena silvestris 3 lateral bristles.

Hi Christophe,
The number of marginals is variable and discal setae are lacking, as far as I know, have a look for instance at Mesnil in Lindner (he calls it Phorocera agilis).
The male genitalia have very characteristic 'fluffy' hairs.

I think a Exorista with eyes hairy.
With the disposal of ocellar setae, I think Exorista segregate.
What do you think?

I think I'd have to see and key the specimen - it's not distinctive enough to ID confidently from photos :)
It certainly doesn't have the head shape of a normal
Exorista, so I doubt that it is one of those.
