I tried to key it with Tschornig (1994) and could more or less reach Phorinia aurifrons, although I always have problems with point 76 in the generic key, if the cheeks have bristles or not. The bristles above the vibrissae should not count as bristles on the cheeks? And I think the pre-alar bristle was somewhat weaker than the notopleural bristles. I have added some additional photos. Note that the additional photos are of a different specimen from the same trap (but I think the same species).
