Following Chandler's key, I am quite confident this is a male Platypeza consobrina.
Can this be confirmed?

The only part I hesitated was the mention of "face between strongly convex parafacials is bare" - so for clarification, there are hairs on a structure above the proboscis - is this the clypeus rather than the face?
