If this was A. trifasciatus I would expect to see a transparent area on the basal side of the cross-vein R-M (i.e. part of the first basal cell would be transparent), which Ryan's fly doesn't have. Compare with Kahis' photo in the gallery:

So I'm still of the opinion that this is likely to be A. anthrax. Would be good to hear from any of our continental colleagues who have more experience of these species!
