I am pretty sure it is same species as this one IDed by Eric as Diogmites - https://diptera.i...d_id=93147

Just wanted to see if Eric thought same.

What are your thoughts?

Looking at this again, the marginal scutellar bristles appear to be present, which separates Diogmites from Blepharepium. So I agree that this is Diogmites, and probably conspecific with your other photos.
