thanks Tony.

was a similar one last days (first thinking from the author was Dolichopodidae... if remember well).

now looking thru the gallery this is very a like Nikita's fly with the ID Hydrellia griseola.... maybe is the same?

Could be - Hydrellia griseola is a very common fly of grassland - the larva is a leaf miner in a wide variety of plants.

Hydrellia griseola is by far the most common species - but there are many other, similar species. It is still a rather poorly known genus. Really reliable identification is possible only from male genitalia.
