I'd say Anthomyiidae (anal vein reaches wing margin) - possibly Egle, as mouthparts look quite protruding, and it's early in the season.

Thank you Iain, thank you Tony ! Yes, it looks like Egle, but isn't it too small for this genus (and for this family ...). The size was measured, not only estimated. Eric Steckx |

Most species of Egle are in the Egle minuta section (sensu Griffiths, 2003) with wing length typically 3-4 mm. |
