this was nice, moving its wings slowly upside/down (not flying, on the ground) as showing them to another one who was doing the same :)
could it be parydra or relatives?

The ovipositor and the wing venations makes me think of Ulidiidae, a smallish family near Tephritidae. This fly doesn't exactly match anything I've seen, but then again, our ulidiid fauna here in Finland is very poor compared with yours.

PS. A size estimate can often help a lot.

Miguel is right. Loex to be a Ulidia apicalis or near. Some chars are invisible in alcohol.
