Hi! I am not an expert, but I am fairly sure that this fly belongs to the family Chloropidae. Changing the title may attract the attention of specialists. (Nice pics otherwise!)
Greetings,
Henrik

Chloropidae is true, and should be Chlorops frontosus Meigen, 1830. Have a look at the link below please:

Bringing this old thread back, because reading von Tschirnhaus' description (linked above) - shouldn't this fly be C. strigulus?

Aristal base is black (should be yellowish-brown in frontosus)
Tergites laterally not yellow (yellow-black stripe in frontosus)
Femora dark with yellow knees (yellow with black stripes in frontosus)

I am bringing this up mainly because this photo has been added to gallery, labelled as C. frontosus
Cheers, Lorin
