Hello!

I was just admiring Jorge's wonderful Miltogramma photos here: http://www.dipter...ad_id=8055. I had never seen that genus or even subfamily here (Ostwestfalen/Germany). Perhaps I had only overlooked them because of their small size...
When looking at the many small, grey flies on Solidago canadensis today I noticed this one (4 mm). I think this must be a Miltogramma, right?

Difficult to tell, without lateral head shot.
It is Miltogramminae and it could be Miltogramma.
Not punctatum, however.

Thanks, Theo! I'm sorry, I have no real lateral shot. I always try, but often I have no luck...

Difficult to get those pics, I know.

The ID is still the same. I have my doubts.

Thank you anyway, Theo. I hope I will get better pics in the next days.
