Quite bristly for Chloropidae, are you sure this is not an Agromyzid?

Oh right... sure, maybe - I read the triangular mark on the head points to Chloropidae, but... this was just something I saw someone mention in passing on iNaturalist once ... - it's also not a feature which is so well defined in this one.

There was another thread with a similar looking fly with white wingbases. It never got a reply [I know the feeling well] but the poster thought it was Conioscinella . Just saying...

Thanks Roger, that does indeed look similar.
White wingbase also similar to one of the images of Conioscinella on boldsystems:
