Appreciate your cooperation for identification.-
I have the collected specimen, in case there is any detail that can be photographed to determine the species. Or to send it to a specialist who wants to study it on their own.

Well at first sight it looks very much like a Lonchaeid - but the halters are pale and there are too many frontal setae on the head for this to be the case. So it must belong to another family

I think Milichiinae.

Sorry for misidentification. I should know that some milichiids are as tricky as this one.

Thank you very much for your help.
I edit the title to see if we can learn more about this little fly...
