This fly was 5 mm. Is it possible to tell family and perhaps genus?

Muscidae. At first glance, I would say
Thricops or
Lophosceles. Do you have other pictures ? How about the chaetotaxy of scutum ? Arista seems finely pubescent, eyes not distinctly hairy, pre-alar setae short ? All this need to be confirmed... A magnification of hind coxa could be useful to see whether there are setulae or not (Thricops)...
