I photographed this small 4-5mm fly on 26/03/2016 in the Still bay area of South Africa. I thought it might be Anthomyiidae? I would like to confirm the Family and progress the ID if at all possible. Single photo only unfortunately.

Thank you

Philip

Edit 1: Title changed to reflect the family after ID confirmation.

Possibly Delia bracata, which is in a group where females are hard to distinguish.
