Someone guess it is a Syritta sp. (Syrphidae)

I'm not even scertain it is a syrphid... With the size of the wings and the way they are folded it might be an acalyptrate, like Chloropidae.

From what is possible to see from the wing venation fits much better with an acalyptrate than a syrphid. I think chloropidae may be correct, actually!
