Hello,

I live in southwestern France. I found several of this little fly on decaying leaves of Zantedeschia aethiopica and Alocasia macrorrhiza. The size was about 3 mm. They were flicking their wings all the time as they quickly walked on or near the leaves (might be just because of the cold ?).

Could they be of this group: obscura ?

Cannot see enough detail to confirm species, but it is in the group with obscura and subsobscura
