Nice portraits of a small fly! It is Limosininae (Sphaeroceridae). There are strange people on this forum who can name some of these on sight! We should wait to hear from them.Frown

Leptocera or possibly Rachispoda -- Limosininae with top of sctuellum bare and margin with more than two pairs of bristles. Rachispoda has two incurved bristles near the front of the thorax and a big nose.

Tony Irwin, John Carr, I appreciate your help.
I have more photographs taken, and I have the specimen if it is necessary to obtain more details. What I do not have is knowledge to draw conclusions. I will upload more images so that you, with your knowledge, can reach conclusions.

I thank you again for your help, and I add another two photographs of the little fly, to try to clear the doubts that still exist. Smile

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
