Looks like Exorista rustica (group) to me :) They are usually pretty common and have that golden dusting on the face; the bristles descending a little way down the parafacial and that narrow-ish, tapering abdomen. You can also see the shadow-fold extending from the bend on the median vein - present in Exoristini. :)
