Is this a Coenosiine Muscid fly or something completely different?

A slightly more lateral view.

Shape's all wrong for a coenosiine. Lack of leg bristles suggests an acalypterate - heleomyzid or lauxaniid, perhaps?

The head shape would be somewhat strange for a Lauxaniid. But Heleomyzidae is a good idea. Hopefully Andrzej will be able to confirm this and maybe tell more.

Probably Tephrochlamys tarsalis (if the face is more or less grey.
the tarsomer is more flattened and should be more or less blackish :)

Thx Andrzej,
Does the costa of T. species not always have spines?

If the specimen is smaller than the costal spines are smallr too :)
