Hello, this tiny fly was found on March 9th at our garden pond in Hannover, Germany. It is not much longer than 2 mm.
Thank you for an ID!
Hans

I think this is probably
Hydrellia albilabris - common in garden ponds, particularly if there is
Lemna available

Hello Tony,
thank you very much! We've got just a few Lemna in our pond.
I send you my best wishes,
Hans
