Oops... Yes, Chloropidae looks much better :-)

Maybe a Oscinella species?

A typical Hapleginella laevifrons (Loew, 1858), Chloropidae, Oscinellinae. Large shining ocellar triangle with a row of interfrontal setulae on the triangle very near to its edge. mesonotum (= scutum) not pubescent (= without pollen/dust). The colour of the halteres is a bit variable, thus, beginners may idetify specimens with black halteres as Lonchaeidae, which all possess black halteres. The species is well known as emerging from cones of pine, spruce, fir and larch trees, but it has not yet exactly been studied which is the prefered larval food, alife or dead insect larvae or the gymnosperm seeds.
