Ulidiidae.

Lonchaeidae have black halteres.

No doubts, it is Ulidia apicalis. I could not see its halter on a phone -- but, yes, it is yellow.
There are some ulidiids with black halteres, including Ulidia megacephala, which otherwise do not differ from apicalis (and Elena Kameneva and I suspect they are just variants of individual variation)
