Ideed, it is Fannia of scalaris-group (which incl
manicata). I'd say it looks like F.monilis with badly developed apical brush on t1.
Roger, it seems you have a lot of nice images of this fly, may be you have one more with mid-tibia anterior/posterior?

Dear Roger, additional images aren't nessasery anymore, I wanted to answer fast (it is my old problem), but now I can give a species-level ID: it isn't scalaris-group, it is male of
Fannia scalaris (Fabr.) itself.
