I think it might be Muscina prolapsa. I know there isn't much of a bend in M, but there is a bit, and it seems to me that Muscina display quite a variation in the amount that vein bends. It's got the orange scutellum tip, and orange mouthparts which fit, but I would also expect to see some orange on the antennae but it is not always obvious in photos.
