Dear,
On July 14th I was able to catch the following flie using a trap with rotting meat. Does anyone know what family, genus or species this is? If necessary I can take an extra photo of a specific characteristic. Thanks a lot in advance!

Looks like a Discomyza sp. There is a revision of the Afrotropical species by Zatwarnicki and Cielniak - see
