Maybe near H. abdominalis
Sabrosky (1980) mentioned Homaluroides abdominalis was unusual for its black thorax. This fly is darker than the original description but could be a variant or related species.

Homaluroides?
I think it's Homaluroides (short costa, multiple rows of puctures at margin of ocellar triangle, antennae small).
