Hello, today I photographed this tiny fly (ca. 2-3 mm) on the island of Ameland, the Netherlands. Anybody who can assist with the ID? Thanks!

That is probably Gymnosoma nitens like in this thread: https://diptera.i...d_id=96095.

Thank you! Interestingly the number of reports of this species are increasing in the Netherlands, and the 4 most northern records are alle from the last few weeks.
