Hello!

Found this night in our winter garden (northwest Germany). Does this 4 mm female belong to the Muscidae?

Another picture. The abdomen seems metallic.

Many thanks, Kahis! I didn't think, they were so small...

Hebecnema are among the smaller 'muscid-like muscids' (that is, not Coenosiini). But I've been wrong before and I didn't note the size before I replied. So make that Hebecnema(?)
