Too difficult?

The short, hairy eyes and long forehead remind me of Panzeria and relatives, but I know little of these flies.

Thank you John and Chris
Chris, what is the difference between P. grandis and assimilis? Is it
possible to distinguish both of them from pictures?

I'm pretty sure they can't be split without extremely fine examination - not normally available in photos.
