 Looks like a Phasia subg. Hyalomyia.

John might know more.

 Probably Strongygaster triangulifera, usually a beetle parasite.

You are not the first to think so. An old name for this fly is Hyalomyodes. As long as there aren't any Phasia with discals they should be distinguishable.

 Always nice to know you are not a lonely fool.... thanks
THe pattern on thoracic dorsum is quite similar to our Strongygaster, but of course this cannot be thought to be of generic relevance... generally.
