Hello!
Sorry for the poor picture quality, this fly was tiny and running fast... Another one of which I'm not sure to which family it belongs. Maybe Sphaeroceridae, too? Length about 2 mm, on a Fraxinus twig in the forest yesterday, Ostwestfalen/Germany.

Yes, Sphaeroceridae. Possibly Sphaerocerinae, but it is difficult to make out any details

Thanks, Paul. I was not sure about Sphaeroceridae, because I had never seen a Sphaerocerid with such long legs before.
