I collected this fly in a forest in the Netherlands, it is 5,0 mm big. Its eyes are contiguous (male). Any ideas about genus or maybe species?

Callomyia of the Platypezidae. No key at hand, sorry.

Shame on me.. Because of the very big eyes I just accepted it had to be Pipunculidae. I'll key out the species.

I already keyed it as Callomyia amoena, so thanks for the confirmation!
