I've no idea of a family or whatever so every suggestion is welcomeSmile This little fly (2,2 mm) I found in the Netherlands. It has dusky wings with white markings.

I think it is a Scatophila sp.

Thanks both. How can I identify it to species level? I collected the fly and I've binoculars if that's required. I see there occur eight species over here.
(caviceps, cribrata, despecta, mesogramma, noctula, quadriguttata, signata and unicornis)

In my opinion this genus Scatophila easily belongs to the TOP HORROR 10-list of all fly generas. A most difficult one, with Zatwarnicki's revisionary article you can make some progress, but it remains difficult even though there might be some characteristic species (I tend to find only these noctula-candidates).
