Hello,

For this black shiny fly, the Sphaeroceridae family seems to be the correct choice.

Determining the genus and species seems to be harder.
The genus Crumomyia could match the aspect of legs 1/3 and 2, resp.
I include a bad lateral view where one can see those legs.

Thanks too, Paul.
It was my impression, but my background is not strong enough.
