Muscidae.
Also genus isn't a problem - Hydrotaea

Nikita - I agree with Muscidae - what features are you using to say Hydrotaea?

Well, mostly white spot at anterior middle frons.
I undrestand your doubts, Tony, I think I have the same - I've never seen female of Hydrotaea with such white dusted upper pleuras (as in case of C.atra).
So I decided that there are a lot of Hydrotaea species I haven't seen yet...
Any other idea? Shock
Nikita

The stance reminded of of Lispe (fullly folded wings, long spread-out legs), but I haven't checked the other features - it was just a jizz thing Cool
