I think that this species matches the description of Villa circumdata in Meigen 1820.

V. circumdata has been divided into Villa fasciata and Villa longicornis by some authors.

Villa fasciata should have more reddish brown on the wings than the species in your photo but the lighting makes it difficult to see the wings clearly. Size matches well here. Some authors think that longicornis is a subspecies of fasciata.

I recommend labelling it Villa cf fasciata.
Perhaps someone else has a different opinion.

I hope that you have a Wonderful Day.
