I really don't know for sure - but my first reaction is that it's close to Discomyza - I hope you have retained a specimen!

Thank you Tony. On one hand I hoped to get species name, on the other hand the fact that you don't know promises something interesting  4 spp collected, but females  Nikita Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

Camarota comes from the Greek. Penna comes from Latin. |
