This tiny yellow fly was resting on a leaf. It allowed me only two photographs (from approximately the same angle) before flying off.

I estimate the size at about 2 mm but am not certain. Anyhow this fly was tiny.

Even without photos from other angles, can anyone tell me the family?

Agromyzidae, maybe Cerodontha.
