No, it is Muscidae, genus Azelia.
Roger, are all images of the same fly?
Have you image with hindleg chaetotaxy?
So far, images 2,4 - Azelia cf. cilipes
Nikita
Azelia is an uneasy object for photographer, due to the fact that this fly prefer the most shadowed sites or late evening activity or bad wheather Angry
