Hi !
Center of France, 2.11.2014.
A large and brownish subcostal cell and 2 strong parallel setae on scutellum apex and I am not sure even the family !
No more pictures.
Thanks for help.

Not Anthomyiidae
Maybe.... Heleomyzidae /
Heteromyza species ??

Atricornis means "black horn." That photo shows black antennae. The photo here shows pale antennae.

You are right John and I just find a female
H oculata with red antennae.
So you confirm Stephane diagnosis :
H oculata possible.
Thanks to both

Eugene, first, change the title to attract the Heleomyzidae experts !
Indeed,
H. atricornis has black antennae, a darker scutellum and a frons with parallel borders.

Thanks Stephane for details,
Done for the title.
I have no picture of the face but the top of head looks like
H. oculata.
The space between eyes is narrow.
