I saw this small soldierfly in Switzerland, Tessin, Passo de Lucomagno, at an altitude of approx 1950 m. It's a small species, say some 4 - 5 mm. The flowers the fly is on are Saxifraga aizoides. The plants grew in a small and shallow mountain river, in a valley where cattle grazes occasionally.

Can it be IDed from these photo's?
