I´m sorry I have no idea and keys beginn with the wing venation, in case noone identifies it I could try with the book if you had a wing view, (I hope someday I´ll be able to take photos like that, at least) regards

- dm-cu present -> not Microsaniinae
- absence of median fork -> Callomyiinae: Callomyia or Agathomyia.
I daren´t say more, try yourself, I´m not sure to distinguish this:
* R1 has short spines, Tibia II with with 2 apical spurs - C.
* R1 without " ", Tibia II with 1 pv - A.
In case somebody helps, I would follow
Just micro-help, sorry Frown

They keys are finally unpacked! I'd say Agathomyia antennata.

Wow, species level, thanks Paul! Thanks also to you paqui for showing the key. I'll leave it as A. cf. antennata, as I noticed some doubt on your response Paul.Pfft
