What is the name of the fly on this picture?
Picture was made a few days ago in my garden, the fly was sitting on a leaf of a sunflower.

Obviously a female of Suillia species.

Looks like it has only 3 postsutural dorsocentral setae and striped eyes, which does not add up to
Suillia, but right now I cannot propose any name.

A difficult one i see, shame i don't have any better pictures of it...
I hope someone can tell me if it's a Lauxaniidae or a Suillia, since both of you seem to be sure about the species name.
Thanks so far

That's me again.
Maybe I've should verify my ID.
In the genus Suillia the prescutellar setae are absent (rather present in the pix) and the abdomen is not expanded (rather swollen in presented specimen).

Minettia...

So it's not a Suillia, but it could be a Minettia...
We drop a possible species and we get a new one in exchange
The eyes are really striped, does Minettia also have striped eyes?
