A fly I couldn't even put a family name on. Is there anybody who can help me with it?
Suriname, Sipaliwini, Arapahu, II-2011, in primary forest
Thanks in advance,
Scarabaeoid

Looks like a Muscini with marked wings, e.g.
Parapyrellia maculipennis or several regional species of
Morellia.
The key to Brazilian synanthropic Muscoidea may help, though your forest fly may not be mentioned

Thank you for your reply! Eu não falo portugues, so I'll skip the key. I'll see if some other time I can Google some pictures now that I have the probable name of the subfamily. For now, I will name it as Muscidae, ?Muscini if there are no objections.
Best regards,
