I think I should know this one, but I still get confused :(. I'll try for Sciomyzidae but with little conviction. I'm just happy that something is starting to move again out there!

Looks like a Sciomyzidae to me.

Good to know that there are 2 main subfamilies: Sciomyzinae and Tetanocerinae. And the so called 'typical' Sciomyzids are found in the subfamily .... Tetanocerinae. The ones with the elongated antennae.

So this might be Sciomyzidae - Sciozmyinae.
If I had to guess, maybe in the genus Pherbellia.
(Easy guess, by far the largest genus)
