 It is a Platypalpus (Hybotidae), a tiny hunter on leaves. A tricky genus, but with a good lateral view (as above) Igor Shamshev (igor) might say more. Unfortunately, he has not been active in the forum for quite a long time...

 Thanks a lot! I will return with a better lateral view later.

 According to the key in Chvala (1975) it seems to be P. articulatus.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
