Hi Robert,
A female of
Geomyza balachowskyi (almost certain:)).

I don't think you will have a detailed picture of sternite 8 (which is normally retracted);). That's what I would need to be entirely certain.

It's a pitty. Sternite 8 not visible. But all (not entirely reliable) colour characteristics match
Geomyza balachowskyi.
