I suspect this is Tephrochlamys flavipes.

Can it have short arista like this fly ?

The arista is broken off. The short hair you are looking at is on the second segment of the antenna.

Thanks John, didn´t think of that possibility.
The small dimple should be where the arista was placed :)

No doubt T. flavipes with broken antennae.
