Chiromyza sp.
I found this specimen in a fragment of Atlantic Forest, in a region of transition between the Cerrado and Atlantic Forest.
I really think that's great!
Ugh!! I'm searching as hard as I can, but the only thing I could seem to find that looks close was this little critter:

But I'm not sure that it's in your geographic distribution! Or if it's a close match--the family Xylophagidae is very small.
Yeeeah! Looks so different! I'm so curious trying discover what is...
Unfortunately, I could only take just one picture.
Wow!! So cool! It's some kind of fly for sure, as it has a pair of halteres instead of hind wings.
