I think Siphonini. Ocytata pallipes has incomplete M and nearly parallel bristles near the tip of the scutellum. Is there a picture from the side showing the mountparts? |

John is right (though Ocytata can have a complete venation): it is simiply a Siphona. Theo |

Siphona (or the broader Siphonini) are always quite distinctive because they are quite hunch-backed; usually brownish; the median vein is quite smoothly curved; the subapical scutellars are convergent; and wing vein r4+5 has hairs along it, usually to crossvein rm.
