Hello forum,
I found this fly between reed and the sice about 4mm.
I saw also a black one in the same area!
Is it Platystomatidae..? Or Ulidiidae.?

Hi Joke,
Indeed a
Geomyza species like Nikita already mentioned. I'm almost certain this is a female of
Geomyza balachowskyi, a rather common species in The Netherlands. Could you please give me the details on when and where you found this specimen.
The blackish one you also saw, may have been
Geomyza tripunctata (but may also have been something quite different ;)).
