Hi, it could be a male Brachyopa insensilis, on account of the proportionately long wing and the overall body color. (But I am not an expert!)

Also, if I am not mistaken, only a narrow anterior stripe is grey-dusted on the scutellum, with a few relatively long bristles at its posterior edge, supporting the ID as B. insensilis.

Thank you very much jorgemotalmeida and Henrik, Smile Smile - I think I should store the fly as Brachyopa insensilis, unless an expert argues against this ID.
Best regards
