Isidro,

This seems to have a head shape more like that of Andrenosoma than Choerades -- except the proboscis can't be seen (very important in this group). Wing cell r5 appears to be wide open -- characteristic of Choerades (closed petiolate in Andrenosoma). So fly is puzzling to me without more photos (or specimen!); do you have either?
