The lack of vibrissa and over-all look made me think Sciomyzidae. Attempting to key it as such points me to Colobaea.. which makes no sense. (Prosternum haired, 1 orbital etc.)

Sorry about the bad pics, I do not have the best equipment at hand.
(See the gigantic 000 pin :S)

Head is yellow/orange with white dusting.
