Haai Vadet,
I'm sure the fly is NOT Zophomyia temula, that species is a lustrous black (so very blackish metallic shine), with very yellow wingbase.
Furthermore the legs are covered in rather large spines, and the wing venation is different, look at the angle that the vein makes!.
This one looks a bit like it, but it has some grey coating on the abdomen, and the base of the wing is not that yellow! Also the spines on the legs are smaller. You can look at this picture from Zophomyia that I found on the net, so you can compare!
Greetings
