this seems like a Thaumatomyia spp. but it hasn?t, for example, distinctive stripes in the thorax...
I think this is a female..

Liriomyza or Phytoliriomyza (or something else and I'm making a fool of myself - again Smile). The two genera cannot be reliably seprataed without examination of male genitalia.
