Chymomyza caudatula

As usually in photos, many characters are obscured. But: Arista apparently not ramified, male and female terminalia of different shape (different from C. caudatula, of course). I think that these lovers are Piophilidae.

Thanks for both.
I agree Jan.

Thanks for doubting my identification, Jan - but I think we're both wrong! This looks a lot more like Fungomyza albimana (Anthomyzidae)

Thanks Tony.
This is coming very interesting. We have six finds from this species. I have to ask KWQ, who has collected one of these six.

Yes, Kaj confirmed. It is Fungomyza albimana.
Many thanks for him and Tony. Excellent work
