Since ocelar are reclinate, I' would say a female Campylochaeta.

The shaded m-cu and the coppery/green body-colour should be fairly distinctive, :) but I don't see Campylochaeta here. :(

The ocellar bristles are reclinate, so Campylochaeta seems to be the best suggestion. However, it is neither praecox nor inepta, but some special species in the fuscinvervis-complex. The noun complex implies: difficult ! Was it collected ?

Thank you Chris and Theo.
Theo, yes, this female was collected. I think I can collect more - they spend a time on sunset on sunny side of fence of my house :o
