Hello, I found this fly dead in the water of a pound in the north of Morocco, in the rif, about 1700 meters above the sea, in a forest of Cedrus atlantica and Abies maroccana.

Does anyone know the family, subfamily, tribe, genus or specie?

Thanks.

Guessing at Anthomyiidae (female), the anepimeral (I think) seta made me think of Emmesomyia. Are the tibiae yellow? A dorsal view of the thorax might help too.

No, it was a wild guess and almost certainly wrong - sorry! You have not yet told us the size of the fly.
