Hello,
Here is a Chloropidae found on the edge of a damp ditch.
The costal vein fades just after the last radial: it is a Chloropinae.
The key leads us to Chlorops.
It looks a lot like Chlorops interruptus but it does not appear to have a clear longitudinal band across the top of the abdomen (Cf this post :

What do you think please?
