Hello,
A very small fly captured on 13 10 2009 at Van, East Turkey about 2mm. Could its species can be identified?
Many thanks

By your kind comments and help on identification, I had opportunity learning about a new diptera group, Chamaemyiidae.
I sincerely thank to all of you.

Yes, definitely Chamaemyiidae and definitely Leucopis. However, there are very very few Leucopis that could be identified to species from a photograph, particularly of a female (as is this one). And this is a typical Leucopis, so a species identification without a dissected male specimen is impossible.
