From my garden. Only 2mm long. 2 individuals caught together. A family would be nice, a genus even better :)

Chloropidae

best that I can do, expect someone else should be able to get you to genus.

This is either Chlorops or Thaumatomyia. I'd vote for Chlorops, because:
Thaumatomyia: scutellum flat and gena about half as wide as the third antennal segment is deep (lateral shots of the head are important to show the narrow gena);
Chlorops: scutellum rounded with no rim, gena wider related to width of third antennal segment, body usually less shiny and more dusted.
(Cp. discussion in http://www.dipter...ropid.html.)
I add a picture for comparison.

The small size, form of the black frontal triangle and shining mesonotal stripes suggest Chlorops hypostigma.

Thanks very much Mark, Sundew & KWQ. That's much more than I had hoped for :)
