Seems to key out ok?!
Species group = Mid tibia with posteroventral comb-like bristles
33 - Mid basitarsus distinctly longer than next segment
...but also (zlobini = legs black , versicolorus = face silvery white)
35. caffer = African
37. Antennal postpedicel elongate triangular, nearly twice longer than high at base
mid tibia comb-like row NOT in basal half only
....but also (pumilio = not subarctic)
38. Mid tibia, posteroventrally along almost whole length, with a comb-like row of blunt-ended bristles
.... but also (vtorovi = no distribution in Iceland )

not the best image...the fly was a little sodden at the time, but here is the mid-tibia
