Yes, but all dorsal views like this one. no better resolution of the head, no view of hind tibias. Are you looking for something that could be better understood with crops of this view?

I thought it could be
Delia radicum, but with a long ad seta on the mid tibia, this option is ruled out.
I think it just will stick to only....male Anthomyiidae

Why ad? On the (right) mid tibia I see only pd and av long setas.

Mid tibia with 1 ad, 2 pd and 1 pv (just visible, but probably there are also 2 pv)
There is no av seta present....

So, if I understand correctly, the pd setas are those pointed by the red arrovs, the pv seta by the green arrow, and the av seta by the black arrow, all in the left mid tibia. But what is the seta circled in red in the right mid tibia?

In one of the other photos the right mid tibia is more detailed.

You color it correct on the first photo!
On the second photo we see the apical setae and they can be very confusing when we look at them from above!
They can give the impression if they belong to the leg setae (on the tibia), but the apical setae (mostly very strong setae at the end of tibia) we mostly don't use for identification.....and if so, only from the hind tibia.
Nicely done,
Johanna
