Hello!
This small fly I saw today für two times. The blue color was strikingly. Also this so long wings.
Is it possible to determine them?

Thank you in advance!

Hello,

I'm no expert, but it looks like a male Leucophenga maculata (Drosophilidae).

Hello Jürgen!

Thank you! I believe you are right. I looked in the gallery an cannot find an other species.

Best regards
Guntram

But since you do not mention where it is from, there could be other species as well, depending on the origin.
