I think you're likely correct about Paravilla, but there isn't enough detail for me to be sure.

Moved from Bee Flies.

Looks like Paravilla fulvicoma to me.
I think there's enough detail in the wings to get this one to species. Hopefully, you'll get an expert ID. If not here, please move your post to Bee Flies.
