Tetanocera (Sciomyzidae) - the tarsal colour is right and the diagonal stance on the leaf is characteristic for this genus. Pfft
[only joking about the stance!]

Tetanocera was also my first thought! Or perhaps a scatophagid.

As for ID - Andrey Ozerov working on collected fly - it is Nanna articulata or Nanna multisetosa (syn. of N.flavipes, but Andrey think that it was uncorrectly synonymized by Siftner).
