Odontomyia sp., I would say out of the blue. Good that you collect as well :)

thank you Andre,
i was thinking to this when looking thru the gallery.
specially on Odontomyia ornata but this have much more longer antenna.
maybe someone will come with more.

With the hairy eyes and the nearly invisible scutellar spines and the typical abdominal pattern, I would vote for Odontomyia discolor.
Cheers
