In English, please. Many people here do not know Portuguese.

I doubt with this photo it is possible to reach genus level.
Indeed in this family, in many cases, is impossible to have a species name through the photos (and even genus name in some cases). Just in a few cases it is possible to have a species name with a photo.

You seems rather new on this forum, so I will explane why Anthomyiidae is very difficult to ID from photos.

Very often the differents between genera and species can only be made by little characteristics that are hidden or not visible on photos, so mostly we need to have sharp and lots of angles photographed of these flies.

On your photo we can't see lots of details, just a general view of a fly......
Maybe next time, try to come closer to the flies you want to photograph or make a crop, so that we can see more.

Succes next time!!

To take a nice photo (especially the flowers), post it on the forum, and write in fairly good English is a real achievement for a 13 year old! So don't be put off but send us some more photos. When I was your age I could not take a photo, use a computer or write anything in Portuguese (there weren't any computers anyway!)
If I were to guess I would say the fly might be a female Delia species?
