Based on the eye-pattern, it could be Phosphuga demandata in the small family of Uliidae.

Theo may be right, but my guess would have been Lauxaniidae!

I also 'vote' for Lauxaniidae. The long 3rd segment of antenna is typical for Lauxania, so my guess is the most common species of this genus, L. cylindricornis.

There's a picture of this fly in an old thread:
