In Britain, the birdwatchers have a term for small undistinguished birds with no obvious recognition characters. They call them "little brown jobs". I think this is the muscid equivalent of a "little brown job". ;)
Having said that I'd
guess that it's a female
Hydrotaea.

Hmm. To me this looks like a typical female
Fannia: broad orbital plates, no crossed frontal bristles, a few short ad and pd setae in apical half of mid tibia, two dorsal setae of hind tibia (poorly visible), only 3 dorsocentral setae.

Thank you Tony and Kahis.
I'll check both possibility and write results I get.
I hope to spend some time to observe biology of this three-bark living fly, in this case Ibadly need precise ID.
