Wing patterns are telling.
I have an old set from California. The two best candidates are both Trupanea sp. Of these, Trupanea signata seems most likely. Hope you can get a local version. Your third photo is the important one here.

Fruit Fly
You'll find that wing pattern in Tephritini. I couldn't say what features are diagnostic to species or genus.
