Micropeza brevipennis (male) is the correct name? Thank you very much.

I don't think so Mucha. The two rings on the hind femur reduce the choice to M. nigra, M. grallatrix, M. lateralis and M. corrigiolata.
It's not the first one as that's so far confined to Turkey. Not the middle two as they have pretty patterned stripes along the sides of the thorax.
Therefore
Micropeza corrigiolata
P.S. there's a male
M. brevipennis in the Gallery at https://diptera.info/photogallery.php?photo_id=1637 Oddly that's the only picture of a male on the internet, it occurs in France and Belgium and countries to the east all the way across Europe. Images of females are on Nikola Rahmé's Flickr
