Definitely very intersting. Ceromyia or silimar. Look at the arista !

I need to check my collection.

I wouldn't expect a Siphonini to have discals. The shape of vein M reminds me of Triarthria, but it is not T. setipennis.

It keys out to Trichactia, which also was my initial thought. The colourationof the abdomen seems different from Central European ones, though. Some work to do.
