In the keys, forked/not forked media is the first step in the determination of this family, distinguishing Sciapus from other "dolis", Anyway, I am not a specialist...

Thanks, Jan and Jürgen, for your ID help! Is Chrysotus sp. more likely? Best regards, Volker Edited by Volker Achterberg on 24-02-2022 15:52 |

Diaphorinae. The distinction between Chrysotus and Diaphorus is often unclear. I don't know how it works in Europe. |

Looks to me like Chrysotus sp. (at most 3 mm long). Female a little longer.

Thank you, John and Igor, for your ID help! Unfortunately, I could not measure the size of the fly. My estimate might be somewhat too large. Anyway, it was a small fly with remarkably iridescent wings. Best regards, Volker |
