Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Unknown family fly

Hello everybodies,

I come to see you today because I am trying to identify a little fly about 4.5 - 5mm caught in a hooded and marshy area on mai 30, 2020 in Guengat in the south of Finistère (French Brittany). She was caught on the ground with Phyllodromia melanocephala.

Initially I thought it was a female of strongylophthalmyia sp. but I don’t found any specie that match with my sample.

Could you help me ?
