Male Nilea (again), seems to be common at your place.

I have looked at the fly in a stereomicroscope. The palps appear to be yellow only in the distal half. Scutellum is mainly reddish. Ocelli form an isosceles triangle. The bristles above the vibrissa appear to be quite long, but difficult to measure. I think this goes well with Nilea innoxia.
