Another small fly, I assume this is Chloropidae.

Oscinellinae, Fieberigella?

cc 2.5 mm.

Most likely to be F. oophila. This is one of the two species recorded for Hungary. Oophila is described to feed on the eggs of Chryochraon dispar, whihc is present in the area. Aslo most other F. species seem to be even smaller than the one photographed.
