Hydrotaea meridionalis? That white spot by the antennae made me think Azeliini, and H. meridionalis is another bicolored species.
An interesting suggestion, John. But I can't find any images of a male, but just females.
I am pretty sure that the white thing at the top of the antennae is a clump of pollen, similar to some of the larger blobs on the thorax.
I see there is a thread at https://diptera.info/forum/viewthread.php?thread_id=45541
I don't think there was a conclusion to this post! ... though it was a female, not a male.
