S. obesa has ac in 4 rows, while the specimen in your photos has ac in 6 rows.
At the moment I really cannot say much more. I was thinking for a while of S. halidayi, but I am not sure at all. Maybe Paul Beuk can help?

Thanks Ruud! Is there any important feature that isn't visible in the photos?

Johane, I will be more than pleased to look at it. At the moment I am abroad. It is not easy here to check all the literature as my family expect me to enjoy the holiday with them and not just with 'stupid" flies.
I do not know S. obesa. I have the species mentioned in the literature. At the moment I am really unable to say anything. But maybe Paul can?

I made some pictures of the genitalia. One of the parameres(?) has been broken off. I have no drawing to compare with, but maybe someone else has?

I begin to think it is S. amabilis, but as I am not that familiar with this species, nor with S. obesa.....

Yet the palpen on the photo are yellow!

I hope Mark Mitschell will pay diptera.info a visit soon.

Any particular reason why it cannot be Sapromyzosoma quadricincta?

I think I was unsure of the colour of the abdomen? Is it certainly Sapromyzosoma quadricincta?

Ocellar setae are outside the ocellar triangle, four rows of acrostichals. That would lead to that species.

Why the heck did I ever think this is amabilis? Crazy. Of course it is S. quadricincta. Just look at those genitalia
