Hi,

This small (about 4mm) fly was photographed at Cernay-la-Ville, 40km SW of Paris in a wet zone near a river.
Any idea of its identity (genus/family)?
Thanks for any help,

FRV

It is risky to assess even family without information on wing veins. I would say Lauxaniidae.

Thank you Jan! Unfortunately I had not the time (nor the light) to take more pictures. But your guess seems correct, maybe Sapromyza or Homoneura?
