I see calypters.. hence no Lonchaeidae, neither Lauxaniidae.
#3
Are you sure ??
I thougt it was a reflection from the flits of my camera..
I don't have any foto's from Lauxaniidae of my own, so I wil look at the diptera gallery, for any resembles of this fly.

white squama ; and near squama we can see clearly calypters!
Agromyzidae are acalyptrate. It is not agromyzid.
#6
I would be very surprised if these flies turned one of those families we cited...

#7
Yes ...you are right! Jorge
#8
that translucid membrane below the wing is the calypter. The dull and white round thing is the halter - vestigial wing.
SO this is not Agromyzid, neither Lonchaeidae neither Lauxaniidae (in spite of the fact it resembles a little for those families)
I can see strong posterior bristles on scutum and maybe a bare scutellum.

Jorge, I don't know any calyptrate fly with such wing venation (Sc and R1 subfused) and with such head !

#12
do you have a lateral view showing all the lenght of the fly..? it would help to see better the calypter.
#13

Agromyza (Agromyzidae, obviously)
Don't let the 'acalyptrata' monicker throw you off course: these flies do in fact have calyptera, only not as well developed as in (most) 'calyptrata'. The colour of the marginal hairs of these lobes (the 'squamal fringe'

is a frequently used character in Agromyzidae.

Thanks !
When I read about Agromy. day say also that the Costa have been interrupted, flat for R1. And is that especially for Agro. or this is for several types also general?

If I undertood you correctly: many diptera families have one (or two) points on the costa where the wein is interrupted or at least much weaker than normal. Agromyzidae is one of these families.

and I used to think all agromyzids without calypter! So, this tell us that we must be care about agromyzids and...
