Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Norway: Opomyzidae - Geomyza balachowskyi?

This very small opomyzid female sat in my light-thrap today, in a broad-leaved swamp wood 32 masl at the coastline of mid Norway. I have no experience with it and its sister species hackmani, and wonder if it is possible to tell from these pictures? I see that the subscutellum is darkened, but the sternites are not visible on any of my photos. The specimen was not collected.

Any help appreciated as always!
