To tell you truth I don't know what is Anthomyiida, only general impression. In this case a lot is visible, so I'll try.
1. Calyptrate fly - the line (I don't know English name) on thorax without long break.
2. Anal vein is long.
3. Who else if not Anthomyiidae.
Could I ask you confirm the family.

Reminds me of
Phaonia pallida but the head has more grey. Maybe another
Phaonia species? Then it would be Muscidae.

Thank you Paul.
It is not Phaonia pallida, if your previos identification of Phaonia pallida was correct.

I briefly compared the pic. with
Thricops diaphanus (Muscidae) from my collection and they seem to match quite well.

Thricops species are in general quite anthomyiid-like. Several species in this genus are forest-dwelling sweat-drinkers and insist on landing
en masse on exposed skin:@
T. diaphanus doesn't seem to do this and I've found it only on flowers.
