Cylindromyia is a pretty difficult genus.
This one looks like a male C. auriceps.

My only thoughts were "close to
auriceps" but I find that they need very careful examination to achieve a confident ID ... but they are not difficult in the same sense as,
Gymnosoma. :)

Chris is right, the species are clear, the features are not as plastic as in Gymnosoma but simply difficult to see on picture.
