I think you should look for a row of meral bristles : I suspect a Calliphoridae, in the Melanomyiinae subfamily (if not a Melonomyia nana itself).

Tough to see them with my small binocular, but I think they are there! Thanks a lot, Stephane!

In any case, Stephane is 100 % right:

Looks like Melanomyia nana.

Angioneura acerba has the calyptra larger and the other species I do not expect in Belgium, whereas nana is common.
