I'm not even sure this is a fly. The antenna looks kind of weird. I don't remember when I took these photos. It is sitting on a grass straw and the wind was probably swaying it back and forth ... I blame that for the poor photo quality :D

Stratiomyidae. Typical discal cell with pentagonal form, and unusually placed far from the center of the wing.

Thanks Jorge. I didn't think of them. Maybe one of the
Beris species then ...

hairy eyes so Beris, and a female.
This belongs to the vallata group.
