 Hi Theo, I've compared it with Angioneura acerba, cyrtoneurina - their wings didn't match. Anthracomyia melanoptera (doronici) for me seems to have a different colouration of the wings, too, but of these 4 species I only met with M. nana until now.

 Wing colouration is sexually dimorph and in any case: with strong apicals it can’t be Melanomyia.

 Thank you Theo for introducing Anthracomyia doronici (melanoptera) - I'll check all my Melanomyia photos!
