Maybe
is the abdomen showing fungus? Maybe that is why the ID hasn't come? Or maybe just gravid?

If I had to guess
I'd go along with your dung fly. But It'd be a total guess.

I'm not sure why I put it in Calyptratae, so I'll put it back in the pack of fly pictures.

Not Acalyptratae?
I don't really see the calyptrate! Excellent photo, though. It reminds me of Drosophila, though I am far from sure about it.
