Looks a bit chubby for Anthomyiidae to me. I think Robert is pretty close. Is that a dorsal bristle on the hind tibia? (Sorry - still not very good at determining where exactly bristles are). Wing venation and body pattern looks right to me. I think the 6th vein probably reaches the margin.

Robert - are you sure about the size though? - way too big, for Phaonia, Antho or Mydaea.

[I've edited this, because just wrote a lot of rubbish, which I have now deleted - managed to look at the wrong specimen in my collection and totally confuse myself - it's a bit chaotic in my workroom at the moment]
