Hello Can anyone id this little fellow (2,5 mm) abundant today on Ivy (Hedera helix) Heron, central Belgium. Here are my cogitations, for what they are worth : Too many bristles on the head for a chloropidae, and not the right venation for drosophilidae (no Dm-Cu cross vein). PLus the banded eyes ?
