Looks like Ephydridae, Discomyza incura, female. I have never met this species on flowers. Is it true? :|

Such a fly I photographed the flower as seen in photos. Then wandered around the flower field.
Thank you very much.

Canzoneri and Meneghini (1983 Fauna d'Italia) note that Bezzi collected D.incurva from Viburnum flowers, but I cannot remember seeing it on flowers in Britain.
