Good job, that is definitely Mintho rufiventris.
Morphology can be slightly different but it doesn't really matters. What matters here is the veins on the wings, because the other identification, keys are very hard to see on your photo (head, mouth, antennae and genitalia)

Ok, that gives me a clue what to aim for next time I want to do a mug shot (or was that bug shot?).  I probably could not identify the genitalia on a fly if they hit me in the face, but their mating position does provide a good idea with regard to their location.

Thanks!
