It does look superficially like an Exorista (with the mustard-coloured face) but that m-cu vein is very sharply angled so I am guessing it is closer to a Voria. :)

Thank you Chris!
The antennae do not have the same shape as the antennae of V. ruralis, but my bad pictures do not help much, I see.

Difficult to see, but looks like Exorista to me.
There are discal setae visible in the first pic, so should be a species of the subgenus Adenia (E. rustica and alikes).
