Do I see a Siphona-proboscis ?
It seems so.
In which case it must be Siphona, but it doesn't look like one, or something extreme like Ancistrophora miki.
Need to ponder on this one.

It is very dark for SIphona, maybe tricky light, in any case, you can see the crossed subapicals of the scutellum, so it must be Siphona.
