Hi again, this Phoridae was found in Greece, Paralia Katerini.

I'd go for Megaselia.

The strong pair of bristles near the base of the mid-tibia excludes Megaselia, but I can't see the other characters well enough to suggest what genus it is.

Thank You also, it will take about a week and I'll provide a better photo!

99% that this is a Dohrniphora species, most probably cosmopolitan D. cornuta. 1% that this is a Diplonevra species. Look in between its hind legs;)
