 This morning I photographed this small (appr. 4-5 mm) fly which was sunning against our wall at Leerdam, Netherlands. I suspect it is Coenosia, or perhaps Lispocephala. Is that correct, and would it be possible to put a species name to it? Unfortunately I only have pictures from above ...

Thanks in advance!
