Looks like
Madiza glabra (Milichiidae)

Hi Natalija & Tony,
It looks like, but actually is a Chloropidae. The wide frons and relatively large scutellum with short, stout black bristles at the edge point to this. I don't know the genus, but many times I've found this chloropid in a smaple and thought: Hey, Madiza. Only to be disappointed to find it is actually a Chlorpoidae…
Greetings,
Ectemnius

Yes, I was too hasty with
Madiza - this fly is not "glabra" enough! Presumably this is near
Siphonella/
Calamoncosis - I'm not sure that it's possible to distinguish them from these photos?

Thank you both :)
Unfortunately I don't have any more detailed shot.
Best wishes from Slovenia,
Natalija
