Way to big for
Thaumatomyia
. I am not really familiar with the family, but maybe
Chlorops
itself?

The only Chlorops species I've seen which is this large and yellow is
Chlorops gracilis
. I would disagree with the 'gracilis' part, this fly is frankly homely

It resembles
Chlorops geminatus
as Meigen himself illustrated it.
