Can't even confirm the genus?

I propose again for a confirmation of the genus

Hi, I think it's a male Phaonia sp., but from the image it is not possible to go to species level. The similar and common P. valida can be ruled out due to the broad frons. A lateral shot would help and a detail of the arista is necessary in most cases.

Thank you Eric. Unfortunately due to the position of the subject I was unable to take side photos. For me it is already a good result to have identified the genus. Just to leave no doubt I try to show a close-up of the arista, but I don't think it adds anything useful.

I think so: Ph. (valida ?)
