yes the photo helps: there is no ia so it is a male Melinda viridicyanea.

the prs ia can be difficult to see at times, so a good dorsal is best with this genus. I don't know what is at this prs ia position in the first photo. I see a slender black smudge, so i want to be careful with judgement. The second photo makes it obvious that a prs ia does not exist. Thank you for adding the photo.

Best wishes,
John


My thanks to you for your help and information in the identification of this diptero.
Best regards from southern Spain.
