Female fruit fly
This looks like a female of family Tephritidae. Two families are called "fruit flies." Tephritidae use live plants. Drosophilidae like rotting fruit; we call them "vinegar flies" here to avoid confusion.

 
awesome
Thanks :) I find she looks like a dragon :)

 
Consider
genus Strauzia; there's several species.
