Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Very small fly, I can't figure the family

I looked through pictures of Chloropidae and Phoridae thinking it might be one of these. Even Dolichopodidae crossed my mind though I don't think it was elevated.

Length was 2.0 mm. On a squash plant, near grass and grass clippings, not far from woodlands, West Virginia USA. Photo was taken on 22 September 2006.

ID help appreciated!

I think I would still go for Chloropidae with this one.
