Hello,

This little fly was “dancing” in a very strange way: it walked in a uniform speed in any direction but while keeping its body on a vertical axis, the head on top !
After much research I guess it could be a Stenomicra, maybe S. soniae due to the crossveins zones looking white as for the specimen of Kahis (the legs coloring looks to match too).
Could you help me confirm that or tell me what else it could be ? Thank you very much for your help!

I can no longer send private messages (and maybe not receive?), even though my inbox and outbox are not yet full. I write, click "send" and they disappear and never show up in the outbox.
