Good evening,

A few days ago I found this fly (about 5 mm long) on a Rhododendron leaf (southwestern France). It looks like an Anthomyiidae of the genus Delia to me, but I am a bit confused by the overall dark coloration especially the shiny black back.

Could you please confirm ? Could it be D. platura ?
