Hi,
I dare to name these flies after checking the gallery, as I had already successfully photographed
O. florum. Two of them, a couple probably, were sitting in the ivy close to the ground today. If Jan Willem knows better, any correction is gratefully accepted!
Regards, Sundew

I think O.petrei, if Jan doesn't mind
I don't mind at all ;) and Nikita is probably right, a female of
Opomyza petrei. However I have also seen specimens of
Opomyza germinationis with a very "
petrei looking" abdomen. In that case presence or absence of hairs on the proepisternum should tell which species you are dealing with (not visible in the photos). In a specimen like this I would have liked to check the proepisternum.
