Looks like a female of Geomyza balachowskyii. I can not entirely rule out G. hackmani, but that species NORMALLY has a dark postscutellum and a dark abdomen. To be entirely sure you should study sternite 8.

Thanks Jan

I'll saved this fly, so I will be able to check sternite 8 closer soon.

Best regards

Is it possible to separate the two species with this poor pic of sternite 8?

Unfortunately not, sternite 8 is retracted, so not visible here.
