Could this be a Chloropid fly?

I guess this is a lauxaniid. Resembles
Calliopum very much.

I would be very happy to believe you that the links give pictures to the same specimen, but I cannot. The links give pictures of Chloropidae, no doubt, but the picture abopve is something different. The chloropid has fewer long setae on the thorax, differently shaped antennae and whitish wings. I still think the above picture is something like
Calliopum.

I totally agree with Paul! The first picture is a Lauxaniidae whereas the other pictures show Chloropidae.

Thx, the three images were made after each other. But there were at least 15 different species of Diptera on this late blooming Chrysanthemum plant in late November, so the three images could easily show two different species.
