Thorax If useful

Could be L ampullacea - the first flagellomere looks quite long (4-5 x width for ampullacea, 3 x for caesar). I wouldn't like to swear to it being ampullacea, but it appears to be different to Valter's specimen. This one has less dusting on the abdomen, possibly fewer rows of post occular black hairs, possibly less plumose arista underneath, t2 bristles are different. However, these two species are really difficult to tell apart, and the characters I have mentioned are notoriously variable and also dependent on the angle of view sometimes. I need a good view of all 3 tibiae and femora and just the right angle close up on the post occular hairs ;)
