Hi,
one of the most beautiful flies I have ever seen, but no idea what it might be. The specimen was collected in New Mexico, US.

Ulidiidae,
Stictomyia punctata Coquillett.

After looking more closely I have doubts. The antennae may be too short. Can you confirm with the keys to genus and species in the reference I cited? It is available here:

Oedopa ascriptiva Hendel. Known to me from Colorado. Genal setulae are clearly black.
