 it is Ephydridae 100%.

Maybe around Pelina or Discocerina?
One for Tony.

 It has a very Chloropidae look. My guess is Aphanotrigonum.

 It does have one, but not as conspicuous as in other genera.
Tricimba is also a good guess, I didn't see Walter's answer.

 Chloropidae for certain (winge venation does not correspond with that of Ephydridae). Don't think this is Tricimba. Aphanotrigonum stands a better chance.
