Aaaaghhhhh, the whole group of Machimus/Tolmerus etc. of species can give a headache. I think most dipterists gave up on them a long time ago. This specimen seems to have an elongated eighth sternite which should exclude corsicus. But admittedly I am not 100% sure about my ID in your other post. Pro are: Corsica, no projection on eighth sternite, rest fits description. Need to compare it with type material I am afraid.
