Hello!
This only 3-4 mm long, slender fly with thick hind femora I photographed yesterday on a meadow here in Ostwestfalen/Germany. Can someone tell me the family or even the genus? Thanks in advance!

Looks like a chloropid to me, but I have no idea about the genus.

Is
Meromyza not the only genus of the group of similar chloropids with thickened femora?

Thanks to you both! I have found pictures of
Meromyza (saltatrix) that look very much like my fly.
