I think that this is a Phaonia, if so is it possible to say what species it is? -or a few "candidates" that I can check further?

Your fly has a partly orange scutellum and only one pair of pre-scutellar acrostichals. A good place to start is Phaonia tuguriorum.

Many thanks James. I have checked with a key for Phaonia and concluded that it is a female of Phaonia tuguriorum
