Probably one of a species of the family Opomyzidae

Thank you, Andrzej.

Educated guess: Opomyza florum

Same specimen, dorsal habitus:

One of the many sympatric and presumably conspecific males:

With such a wing pattern it's either Opomyza germinationis or O. petrei. Although I can't completely rule out O. germinationis, it looks more like O. petrei.
