Way to big for
Thaumatomyia. I am not really familiar with the family, but maybe
Chlorops itself?

The only Chlorops species I've seen which is this large and yellow is
Chlorops gracilis. I would disagree with the 'gracilis' part, this fly is frankly homely ;)

Thanks Kahis,
Yes definitely not too graceful ;)

It resembles
Chlorops geminatus as Meigen himself illustrated it.
