I am tempted to guess Drosophilidae. Hopefully someone with more knowledge will tell me (If I'm wrong) why I'm wrong.
(I think It's female, and has the feel of an immigrans group fly)

Also, do you have a more dorsal view? and were the wings clouded, or do they just appear that way in the photo?

here is a more dorsal view, but a bit out of focus..

I'm afraid I don't have any more to add... The clouded cross-vein is consistent with immigrans, but the banding on the tergites doen't look quite right. Immigrans
is cosmopolitan - but I have no knowledge of South American Drosophila, so I could be
way off.
Hopefully someone who knows more than I do will provide an opinion!
