You were right to dubt the identification. This is the sciomyzid
Sepedon spinipes. I have noticed before that in some keys to the families of Diptera the
Sepedon species will run to Megamerinidae. The fact that the antennae are somewhat elongate is enough to rule
Megamerina out, as that species has the normal short acalyptrate antennae.
