 No platystomatid at all. Photo quality is quite poor, but it can be an Acinia sp (33%), an overwintered Tephritis (33%) or Heringina guttata (33%). The only fly that can be that early actually is only Tephritis sp, pehaps conura Lw. (Tephritidae)

 Well, to me, the thorax looked much too mottled to be a tephritid, but you're the boss! Thanks for the correction! Smile

No, it is a "mottled" noise of the picture.
