Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Chloropidae, 3mm

Dear all,

as I learned from posts here, flies of genus Chlorops should have a rather bulbous thorax, so also rounded on top.
But, though my fly has a rather flat top of thorax on my picture, I also learned from insektenfotos.de, that the animal does not look like Thaumatomyia notata and is too large for that species.
So, would anyone like to say anything concerning possible (other) genera?

March, 17th, 2014: South West Germany, Rhine valley, garden, on leaf of Hedera helix, 3mm

Thanks in advance for taking a look at this.

Best wishes,

Thorsten

probably some other Thaumatomyia there are several common species
