This fly I found yesterday (sice was 7mm)
It looks to me like a Lauxaniidae, but it has very long bristles on the last tergit.
Is it Lauxa......or not ??

Notiphila caudata (Ephydridae).
Believe it or not, it's a male. The terminalia are very weird in this fly. That's not an ovipositor, although it looks like one.
