Wow, just found this. It looks like you caught an undescribed pyrgotid fly in the act of approaching Neorrhina punctatum. This appears to be the same fly I have reared from this host: (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/253727914) and is to my knowledge the first picture showing the fly in the wild and together with its host.
