Around a small pond today. About 3-4mm size (estimate). Any idea what family these smart looking little flies are?

Chloropidae, Cetema, I think - but it's been a while since I looked at them!

I was wondering if this might be Diplotoxa instead of Cetema? The crossveins in these specimens are very close together and the colours of the legs and scutellum are different from Cetema.
Best wishes, Niels-Jan Dek |

Diplotoxa messoria (Fallén, 1820), Chloropidae. The approximated crossveins and the colour let identify this species without doubt. Abundant around lakes and ponds with Eleocharis spp. (Cyperaceae), being the host plant genus. |
