Can this fly be ID'd from this position...?

I'm going to guess that it is a freshly emerged
Lypha dubia :)

Looks more like Phorocera to me, a female,
the abdomen is elongated, the third antennal segment longer

Ahh, I was wondering about this and the other photos ... the more I looked at the other I thought they might be
Phorocera but I thought the abdomen would have been more elongated than this :)
Phorocera is still frustratingly difficult to find over here :(
