maybe i?m worng, but i think empididae has forked R4+5 and this one doensn?t seem so; and it?s humped? i mean that curved thorax, it seems Hybotidae to me (microphoridae 1-3mm)
waiting for somebody...:|

Indeed, Hybotidae, but the absence of a fork in R4+5 is not enough (though many Empididae have the fork, it is missing, e.g., in the large genus
Rhamphomyia). This resembles the species in
this thread somewhat, but the antennae are different. There are differences in wing venation, too, but as that is rather indistinct from this view I will not elaborate. This specimen belongs to
Leptopeza flavipes and it is a male.
