I found this fly in early September on a rotten log of a hybrid poplar, in the Parc de Woluwé in Brussels.
I cannot even put a family name on it, although ObsIdentify suggests it is a Helemyzidae... Any views on that?

Also note
Paraclusia was synonymized with
Clusia a while ago, so it is
Clusia tigrina.
