Moved from Chrysops.
John, I think it looks just like the C. indus I previously posted. The eve pattern seems to be a good match as well as the rest of the fly. These are really similar, and I could be wrong.

What do you think about C. striatus?
To me it looks like striatus, a little more than indus. The wing cell that's pointed out in the key is clear like the one in striatus.

Your fly's cell br appears to be more than half clear.
