I think so.
Funny that two Czechs correspond in English. I do not hesitate...

Ovipositor is not Piophilidae like, I think, nor the darkening in the wing tip. Another shot in cleaner liquid?

Thank you Paul. Unfortunately, I am not able to take more pics as the fly is back in the vial and I have hundreds of vials with thousands of flies. What other family would you be inclined to believe it belongs to?

I agree that some characters are weird for Piophilidae. Rigorous determination is not possible, stil I have another guess: Acartophthalmus (bicolor?). What do you mean, Paul?
