Hello,
This one looks like
Peplomyza discoidea... but I don't find anything about
P. dejongi described in 2000 ?

How did you rule out
P. intermedia?

I don't know ! The pictures I have found on the web show P. intermedia with a darker thorax.
I add a picture from the front.

From your second picture it is clear there is no black marking between the antennae and that indeed makes it
discoidea. Both
litura and
intermedia have a distinct black marking there.
P. dejongi should not have dark vittae between the humeri (postpronota).
