Mycophaga testacea may be another possibility.
You're best placed to judge, but it looks to me like it has a complete thoracic suture, which would support it being a calypterate, and as the anal vein reaches the wing margin, Scathophagidae and Anthomyiidae are the obvious contenders. Try running it through Mike's key to anthomyiid genera, and see what happens?
