If there are minute setulae on radial node (on both sides), this is Limnophora. Can you check ?

Thanks for respons! I can´t see any setulae on radial node (and no hairs on prosternum). When I look in Fonseca (1968) I come to Spilogona. Can it be correct?

Yes, that was the second choice.
Muscidae with large triangular spots on abdomen are usually found in these genera.
I don't risk IDing a Spilogona on pictures (except if I see some determinant criteria).

This is a tough genus, I'd start with number of dc, post but its hard from these photos, it may worth you sending it to someone!
