Hi,
I think this should be Scaptomyza graminum, but I don't know if it's possible to be sure just from these pictures. S. teinoptera can be ruled out because it doesn't reach southern Europe, so we are left with graminum and griseola (I guess atlantica is not very likely too).

In the next two photos I'm trying to show the cerci, which are large and rounded in S. graminum. Despite the bad photos, do you think it matches this species?
