Hello everyone!
Could anyone help me with the ID of this fly please ? It was captured in a mango orchard in Reunion Island!
Thanks in advance!

Rhodesiella ?rugosa, male, Chloropidae. Typical are: Anepisternum (= mesopleuron) with many short hairs, hind margin of eye concave, long arista and often long scutellum. Many undescribed species in tropical regions!
Read enlarged notes in thread https://diptera.info/forum/viewthread.php?forum_id=5&thread_id=62367&pid=448491#post_448491 which presents the same specimen from La Réunion.
