Sad I'm sorry but I don't know why I can't attach my file, which is supposed to have the length and the type they should have...

Grin Yes ! It was just a stupid problem of spaces !

You made the photos so small it is hard to see the details. If the fly has green between the eyes, as it seems to have, it might be a Neomyia sp (Muscidae)!? Let's hear what the pro's say.

I'm inclined towards Neomyia, but the wing venation is a little odd - the bend in vein M is not quite acute enough. Perhaps the wings are not fully expanded. (It is very late in the year!)
