Another mystery fly, very small, cc. 1.5-2 mm. Shiny metallic. Can someone suggest a family at least from this pic?

Some other photos (quite bad also) are in the inaturalist thread: https://www.inatu...s/87723483 Could be Ephydridae, Chloropidae, Lonchaeidae (if they can get this small) etc. Edited by Xespok on 19-07-2021 16:52 Gabor Keresztes Japan Wildlife Gallery Carpathian Basin Wildlife Gallery |

I would exclude chloropids (too shining) and lonchaeids (too small). |

There is only one species L. smaragdina in Europe, which is not yet recorded from Hungary. I change the title to attacht Ian.

Hi all I would agree with Jan - my first instinct is that the eyes are too widely separated for Lonchaeidae, Iain Iain MacGowan |
