OK, I'll try to answer my own question (hoping that you'll shoot down my suggestion and give me a more learned proposal B) )
Scatophaga furcata ??

Thank you Susan, you made my day. It's not so often that I even come close!

PS What's the proper spelling, by the way : one finds Scatophaga and Scathophaga ?!

I believe Scathophaga is the accepted spelling.
