The anal vein appears incomplete and the hind tibia is weakly bristled compared to Anthomyiidae. The black color and small calypters have me thinking of the Azeliini. If it is in that tribe Nikita Vikhrev should recognize it. And he doesn't. The three strong anterior spines on the fore femur are found in some Fannia. This is not a Fannia.
