Immature
Bad news -- no epigynum that I could see.
But even stranger, the other "specimen", which was supposed to be the male...
...is missing. I do have something, though, what looks like the recent/just occurring/partial moult into a mature... fly? I shot one image which I'll link in here in a moment.
Perhaps the male was parasitized? But how/when and with no remains?
If it is any consolation, looking at the image of the male, he still looks subadult to me.

Looks like you have crosslinked them
Male to female and vice versa.
