Looks like Trachisiphonella sp. to me!

Thanks Sara :)
That's Chloropidae. Could be Chyromyidae ? : http://www.dipter...to_id=8532

Is it possible to confirm as Chyromyidae ?

I think so too, but if you collected some specimens that would make it really stick.

I would say Aphaniosoma (Chyromyidae) based on the arrangement of setae on the frons and thorax
