I just spotted this tiny fella outside on the doorframe. He or she is about 1cm long.
Canon 30D + 100mm macro lens, 270EX flash on C bracket.

Maybe a Platycheirus albimanus (female)...but just guessing as usual. :|

Looks like a correct ID by my friend Rogerita.
But the picture is not very good... It is a
Platycheirus, that is sure.
PS: 1 cm is NOT tiny :P
