Moscow, park, 18 may, 6-6,5mm, one of a kind. Is it Gymnochaeta viridis? Nikita Vikhrev attached the following image:  [76.81Kb] Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

Nikita - this looks like viridis but ours are a different and very distinctive shade of green (lighter) at least when alive. I am sure Chris (Raper) would know. Robert

Thank you Theo and Robert. In this case my doubts were also due small size of fly. Nikita Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

Thanks Theo. They are a particularly beautiful rich emerald colour, I think.
