Ephydridae, genus Scatella, Tony Irwin possibly knows the species tenuicosta?

Yes, I'd say this was tenuicosta, as far as I can see from the photos. It has not got typical wing markings, but then it is a very variable species!

Thanks, Manuel, but I would need to examine a specimen to be absolutely sure of the determination.
