Hello! This only 1.5-2 mm long fly sat on a fence stake today (Ostwestfalen/Germany). What could it be? Sphaeroceridae?

Not certain, but I think this is Elachiptera brevipennis (Chloropidae).

Hello, Tony! Tony Irwin wrote: Not certain, but I think this is Elachiptera brevipennis (Chloropidae). Of course: the head reminded me of a Chloropid (I think I see a black ocellar triangle), but I had never heard of a (nearly) wingless Chloropid! Thanks!
