Check the frons to see if there is a large ocellar triangle. I think it might be Chloropidae.

I have no idea if this is a large ocellar triangle, or just normal dimensions.

Paul, I found a match in my Chloropidae folder. It's Rhodesiella magna.

Chloropidae, Rhodesiellinae: Rhodesiella magna (Becker, 1911) is correct. The two simultaneous descriptions of magnus and femoralis from [Papua] „New Guinea“ by Becker (described into the genus Prionoscelus Becker) are extremely similar and let not decide to which of both taxa the photographed specimen could belong. But the problem is irrelevant as Duda (1934, Tijdschr. Ent. 77: 55-161 on p. 51 and 60) after studying the types explicitely synonymized the junior name femoralis with magnus by adding two explained asterisks on p. 60. That fact was overlooked by Sabrosky and later authors with the result that for R. magna further collection records from Cairns, Queensland and the isle of Samar, Philippines [published by Frey 1923, Notul. ent. 3: 99-100] exist. In the Oriental Catalogue (Sabrosky 1977) also the Solomon Islands are for the first time listed for R. magna. Helpful, now to have photographs of this rarely recorded species.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
