It is not quite just it, even though you amaze me again with the pictures you have. The character is on the anterior margin of the wing and how tow veins terminate in the costa. Unfortunately, the wing is turned slightly forward so the you just cannot see it. It appears as if the willterminate close to the wing margin and then it would be Neria (= Compsobata). According to the Manual of Neartcic Diptera, the subgenus Compsobata (Compsobata) has two reddish species with pruinose thorax, mostly northward and quite widespread. So that would fit quite nicely.
