Could be an Exorista?

I can see where you're going but it doesn't look quite right for Exorista ... bristles on the parafacial don't descend far enough.

Hello, Jaakko and Chris!

After looking at some of my older pictures I wonder, if it could be a Meigenia.
Best regards,
Jürgen

I was staring at that feature too... but couldn´t think of anything else with such a strong m-vein bend and without facial bristles. Maybe misleading to think it´s an Exoristinae? What about Eumea?

Cheers,

Jaakko

Eumea was going to be my guess (from general appearance) if anyone pushed me ... I just decided to keep it to myself in case I was way,way out Grin
