Muscidae, maybe a female Mydaea with broadened palpi... No other larger pictures ?

Thanks for your suggestion. I only got the one shot before it flew away! Here's a closer crop of it - I hope this may make it easier to ID.

Actually palpi are not broadened, it's just proboscis.
I have the impression that there is a posterodorsal on hind tibia (Unless it is a mark on the leaf), so I'd say
Phaonia sp.
It's the more that I can say, sorry.
