Here's another Conopid, same genus but different species as my Conopidae I post? That is, genus Physocephala?

Yes,
Physocephala. Where the wing markings obscure the venation (as here), you can still recognise this genus because it has thickening at the
base of the hind femur, rather than centrally.

Tony, Thanks for the help in recognizing this genus!
