I think it is either Phasia pusilla or Phasia barbifrons.

Yes, hard to say which it is but I'd guess pusilla one the basis that the area between the frontal bristles and the eye is silvery and seems devoid of hairs - plus pusilla has brown haltares and if this one had yellow we might possibly be able to see them in the photo. Smile

I agree.
This is pusilla (or, at least, a species in the subgenus Hyalomyia)
