Too anonymous for me ... wondering if it might be
Drino, with that body shape and apparently no occellars :) Any more angles?

I'll leave it for someone else but I am sticking with my original guess :)

Thank you Chris,
Do I understand you well that your "ocellars" means ocellar bristles?
I can indeed not clearly see if there are any ocellar bristles in this picture.
More details will be needed next time.
Will it now be Drino spec. or cf. Drino spec ?
Best regards,
Jan Wind

Yes, I meant ocellar bristles :) It does look a bit like
Drino but I would be happier with someone else's confirmation because I don't see enough to be familiar with their habitus :)

Drino has eyes bare except for D. lota, with short hairs. These are long.
To me, it is simply a Phryxe. No idea what happened with the ocellars.
