Hello, a 3.5 mm fly from our housewall (northwest Germany). Possibly Chloropidae (Elachiptera?)?

From first impressions, I would say this is a Drosophila.

One of the things that sets Elachiptera apart is that they tend to have a thickened arista - much thicker than the ones on this fly.

Perhaps, perhaps! it might be Drosophila funebris. Difficult to identify, if there is not a better photo or a preserved specimen. |
