Well, this one baffles me. There are a few groups where you can find those bent wings. One conspicuous one is the genus Stegana of the Drosophilidae, but then the wings are not flat but slightly askew (like a roof on a house). Another family that has a 'weak' zone in the wing is the Psilidae. This weak zone can cause easy bending. This has some aspects of the genus Chyliza but the colour of the eyes and shape of the head tell me no. Naoyone else a suggestion?
BTW: Do you have a larger image that you can mail me?
