I think that this is correct but a confirmation will be nice.
Anthomyiidae can be difficult :)

Super! Thanks, Johanna. I appreciate your Time and expertise.
Interesting story: I couldn't get the genitalia positioned for a good dorsal view. I had to think about it a bit. I don't know how specialists dissect and manipulate these tiny parts. I teach myself how to dissect. Anyway, I decided to put an airbubble in the liquid, then prop the genitalia up on the air bubble. As you can see: it worked :)
