Nice portraits of a small fly! It is Limosininae (Sphaeroceridae). There are strange people on this forum who can name some of these on sight! We should wait to hear from them.:|

Leptocera or possibly
Rachispoda -- Limosininae with top of sctuellum bare and margin with more than two pairs of bristles.
Rachispoda has two incurved bristles near the front of the thorax and a big nose.

Tony Irwin, John Carr, I appreciate your help.
I have more photographs taken, and I have the specimen if it is necessary to obtain more details. What I do not have is knowledge to draw conclusions. I will upload more images so that you, with your knowledge, can reach conclusions.

I thank you again for your help, and I add another two photographs of the little fly, to try to clear the doubts that still exist. :)
