Scaptomyza pallida

Thank's to Paul L.Th. Beuk for correcting my misidentification. He says The fly pictured on the page below is not Scaptomyza graminum. It is Scaptomyza pallida. The thorax picture shows just two rows of acrostichal setae (immediately lateral of the median dark stripe) and this is characteristic for S. pallida. The structure of the genitalia (just visible on the bottom picture) also confirms it as a male of this species.
