Hello Volker, looks like it hasn't crossed scutellar apicals (excludes C. auriceps), inner margin of the calyptrae is yellowish brown, tergites 2-4 with discals and this male's arista is filiform. So it's probably C. interrupta.

Hi Eric,

C. interrupta was also my personal favourite. Thanks for the helpful explanation.

Best regards, Volker
