 Despite anterior view of the head is lacking I think it is Ptilomyia.
Specimen on the image resemble Ptilomyia mabelae, or could even belongs to the species known from the New World.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
