One for the study (if i may..:))
Pre-alar is present
notopleuron without small hairs
Arista not long haired
Eyes not haired ...
I can't see if the mentum is black and shining...
Midtibia with 1ad+1pd (+2pv)
Hindtibia with 2pd+more ad
I think Pegomya sp.
More.. i can't say

Hmm, I don't think
Pegomya bear some crossed interfrontals. If hind tibia with 2 pd and 2 ad (not sure), then I think to
Pegoplata.
Where is Michael by the way ?

What i know, has Pegoplata indeed 2pd+2ad, but on the same level, (but if i see it right there are 3ad..)
And Pegomya testacea/winthemi have interfrontals, but maybe they are an exception..? ...interesting!

Difficult to take pictures of the mentum, but perhaps those others ones could help ?

I have checked again and indeed Pegomya bear some crossed interfrontals.
There are some exceptions, but they don't match with your fly.
So.....Stephane is right :D of cource
Pegoplata.sp
But now i know for sure Pegomya bears crossed interfrontals.
The exceptions had confused me.
