Tetanocera (Sciomyzidae) - the tarsal colour is right and the diagonal stance on the leaf is characteristic for this genus. Pfft
[only joking about the stance!]

Tetanocera was also my first thought! Or perhaps a scatophagid.

As for ID - Andrey Ozerov working on collected fly - it is Nanna articulata or Nanna multisetosa (syn. of N.flavipes, but Andrey think that it was uncorrectly synonymized by Siftner).

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol
