No, it is not a Drosophilidae, rather a Chloropidae, I think

Desmometopa of the Milichiidae.

Because of the large ocellar triangle I concluded I should be a Chloropidae. Now I read that because of the typical frons (letter M), you can see it is Desmometopa.
diptera.info is really very handy and educative!!
