Female Heliozeta pellucens, unless I misjudge the arista (difficult to see)

Which I did (misjudging the arista).
So it is a female Clytiomyia.
There appear to be no white hairs on pleurae, in which case it is C. continua.

Nice photos for the gallery :)
Theo - how would the arista look in the alternative -
Eliozeta spp.?

well, in E. pellucens it is largely thickened, up to 2/3th.
And helluo has such arista, but is much more yellow.
The last pic clearly shows the bare parafrontalia in female, which settles the genus Clytiomyia inmediately.

I don't know if this photo shows what is important to determine the species?

Yes, thanks, the hairs are clearly dark, so C. continua it is.
(otherwise: C. sola)
