Thank you for your comment. I first also thought Phorocera, but I could not key to that genus as I could not see any hairs on the prosternum nor a shadowfold of vein M. I checked the drawings of Phorocera genitalia in Emden 1954, but I think/guess the genitalia do not match. Keying the specimens with Emden 1954 I end up with Blepharomyia pagana, maybe that is a better match than B. angustifrons.

I have added some extra photos of the wing venation, prosternum, genitalia and front and rear view of the head. I am not entirely sure if these photo are of the same specimen as the previous photos, but all 3 specimens look very similar and have the same wing venation and chaetotaxy on the head.
