Chris is right, a male of Rhinophora lepida it is.
From a distance, you might confuse it with Phania funesta.
The head profile is very different, as is the wing venation.
In the view, both are small black flies, but Rhinophora is clearly the smallest.
The male has typical greyish spots on the abdomen, Phania is completely black
