Looks like a Lonchaeidae to me. I suggest you change the title and wait for an expert...

It's at a difficult angle, but looks a bit like
Calliopum (Lauxaniidae) to me, especially with those banded eyes

Halteres are white so it is not Lonchaeidae. Considering the location in the Netherlands I think a blackish
Calliopum is rather unlikely. Just wondering about
Sapromyza hyalinata of the Lauxaniidae...

S. hyalinata is not one I see much of, so surprised to hear they are more common than
Calliopum in the Netherlands.
The one in the picture has all black legs, so
hyalinata seems probable? just a shame we can't see dc's and ac's

Dunno what made you think
hyalinata is more common than
Calliopum in the Netherlands. The greenish
Calliopum (
aeneum and
simillimum) are very common, the other species (either greenish or more balckish) are not.
