Hello,
This Brachycera has been collected in a yellow pan trap in coastal area of Moorea, in French Polynesia.
I have no idea of its family, is it possible to tell based on this picture ?
Thank you for the help !

The antenna looks like Ephydridae. I thought the genitalia large for the family.

As I am interested in Ephydridae, but couldn't ID the species, I asked it to Tadeusz Zatwarnicki: it is
Clasiopella uncinata Hendel, 1914.

Thank you very much for that identification !
This species is new for French Polynesia, quite common on the site studied, that's a new nice addition to this fauna.
