Looks like one of the small Phasia spp. But which one?

Another dorsal shot. I think this species was common to mid October, I may post some images later. Gabor Keresztes Japan Wildlife Gallery Carpathian Basin Wildlife Gallery |

The wing venation looks odd for Phasia. What about Elomyia lateralis ?

Thx Stephae and Theo for your help. I wondered why the black beard is not mentioned in any of the potential Phasia spp. I assume that this is male, because in this species the females should have the eyes closer to each other. Quite remarkable to have a deviation from this rule. But should the male not have a dark area on the wings?

Phasia spp. have a very long petiole, but Elomyia lateralis has a very distinctive short petiole and vein-m is quite sinuous  I have never seen them for real though, so I am not sure how the colouring in the sexes varies |
