This small fly (ca 2mm) collected in one of the White sea islands (NW Russia), 21.07.2001.
I thought it may be Muscidae or Anthomyiidae representative, but being not very familiar with these groups could not find species looking like this. I'd be obliged for any idea.

Thank you Stephane! This fly really looks unusual for Muscidae and species is new to me.
