T. cf. atra. longer than 5 mm, silverish abdomen, second antennal segment much longer than the third.
pusilla,
distincta,
longirostris and
melanopa has almost the second antennal segment to the third, which is not this case!
this never could be a
Myopa - look at the proportion of the eyes comparing to the head. ;)

Definitely
atra group, but not really possible to ID from males, even when pinned. However, dusting and leg colour suggest
T fulvipes to me.
