Muscidae/Anthomyiidae I would have guessed, but if it is very small I'm not sure ...

Hello,

Amongst Aphids, could it be a Leucopis ?

No, Leucopis is a much more compact fly, without strong leg bristles - see

Tony,

This picture was identified in this thread of diptera.info:
http://www.dipter...post_32205

I had noticed the tip of the scutellum pointing upwards as one criterion for this little fly.

I also notice that I forgot to put the pictures in the gallery.

No, definitely not Leucopis.

I think Tony Irwin is on the right track: Anthomyiidae(?).
