Hi Eckart.
It is quite usual case that nobody can help with tropical fly. I counted about 5 spp. of Anthomyia in old Catalogue of Afrotropical Diptera. According this book the only key is in Emden, F.I.van 1941b, Bull.Ent.Res. 32
A.Pont or M. Ackland may help... Or may not with photo... Or may be may not even with female specimen, as yours...
