I found this platypezid and I'd like to know the species it belongs to. It looks like a Callomyia species, is it possible to know which one? I'd also like to know if something about this species’ biology is known?

Thoracic pattern says female
speciosa: median dark area much broadened near anterior margin of mesonotum. Abdominal pattern is somwhat variable making it possible to confuse
speciosa and
amoena, but the majority of characters given in the descriptions also seem to point towards
speciosa.
