Lauxaniidae Sapromyza albiceps is the closest match (visually) in the Gallery...Don't know if it is right though ???

I would have thought something like Muscidae...

Hi Paul and Sephane,

Thanks for your replying to my question. Personally I think that the charateristics fit perfectly with Sapromyza albiceps.
