Looking at it again, it does appear to have only one pair of lateroclinate fronto-orbitals, which would suggest that it is actually a Scatophila - that would also explain the small size. 1.2 mm would be very small for a Scatella.
The thoracic pattern also suggests Scatophila, so I'm not really sure why I thought it might be tenuicosta - late nights and early mornings! :|
