Anthomyiidae are not un-namable, except in most photos where the important characters are often not visible. Many species look remarkably similar in general appearance. When one names them under the microscope you look at a series of characters, mainly chaetotactic, which will lead to the species, confirmed by genitalia if necessary. So I can't say what species you have photographed.
