Difficult to identify. Coloration seems strange. Looks like a species of the "
combinata" group, but can't say much more about this female specimen.
Geomyza spec.

The aditional pictures show a rather pointed tip of the wing. That could indicate it could actually be
Geomyza acutipennis.
Did you collect it?

I couldn't find a single photo of Geomyza acutipennis online. And the taxon is completely absent from the inaturalist.org database...

To my knowledge, there are very few specimens known of
Geomyza acutipennis. So no surprise to me that you won't be able to find any photos of this species online.
If you happen to run into specimens looking like this again, it would be useful if you could collect a few (preferably also male specimen(s)).
