Thanks for you reply Theo.

The fly was sunbathing on a wooden bridge railing on the edge of a big lawn (lots of meadows at about 600 meters). The exact location, as well as the same pics with a slightly higher resolution, can be found here:

Since I take pictures of flies on this type of wooden bridges in Nieuwegein almost on a daily basis, I'm pretty sure about the size, although not 100% exact (it must have been between 2,5 - 3,5 mm).

I've seen this fly only once in 12 years, so wish I had a better camera with me that day!

Kind regards,
