For your entertainment; another small fly that I've been calling a Tephritid until someone informs me otherwise;

Place: Low-level farmland, Chongwe District, Lusaka Province, Zambia

Date: 23/10/2011

Size: around 6mm, possibly smaller.

EDIT - forgot photo. Trying again. (Photo had not yet been shrunk to fit... fixed)

I cannot see the wing but it reminds me of Bengalia (Calliphoridae).

Cropped the original to show the wing as best I can, changed exposure for the veins. Not great, but it may help?

I would say Bengalia.
