If there is a complete transverse suture on the scutum it must be a weakly bristled Scathophagidae.

Scathophagidae expert Andrey Ozerov supposed that it may be some Psilidae.
Actually photos are taken from recent publication:
Saigusa, T. (2024) A remarkable new genus of Sciomyzoidea from Japan, with discussion of its taxonomic position (Diptera, Acalyptratae). Zootaxa 5519 (4): 549-560, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5519.4.4,
Dr. Saigusa described this fly as
Babakintaromyia albitarsis, Sciomyzidae, Salticellinae
I doubt much that it is Sciomyzidae. I placed images in hope that somebody recognizes the family.
