Physoconops
THis is likely to be a species of Physoconops.
This genus is divided in three subgenera: Physoconops (5 species, widespread), Gyroconops (1 species, sylvosus) and Pachyconops (6 species, widespread).
I can't tell you which one of these it could be!
Greetings,

Neither:-)
This is a thick-headed fly, family Conopidae. Not sure which genus.
