 Would like to know the family if possible. Collected in Matapouri Bay New Zealand during summer 2016\2017.
Maybe Helcomyzidae?

 Seems very interesting Helcomyzidae. Paractora species ?

 According to Marshall's book on flies, Helcomyzidae lack vibrissae. Maybe Canacidae.

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
