I've seen it two times, both on camel excrements, both one fly, shiny, 5-6mm.

Hi Nikita,

I guess it wasn't necessary to travel so far for this one.
It looks very much like our Psysiphora alcaea ( Ulidiidae ).

Hi Ben.
1. It was necessary to travel so far, as it is my first Ulidiidae (excl. one "may be Ulidiidae" from Thailand).
2. Thank you.
