Hello Rafael, I've checked with Sivell, 2021, and Rognes, 1991: I think, rudis species-group is correct and it's Rognes' type I = angustigena or rudis. The difference between both is the central sclerotisation in hypophallus which is usually broader than clear surface in distal part in angustigena and narrower in rudis. Your fly's one is the narrower = rudis?
