The images are quite blurry - hard to make an ID or even a serious guess unfortunately. But anyhow I guess it could be the female Phaonia fuscata which I've never seen before.
- legs predominantly yellow
- crossveins significantly infuscated (but not a P. tuguriorum!)
- antennal base black
- arista long plumose?
- parafacial with a transverse black spot near the insertion of the antenna at #3???
