Hi everyone! I hope all of you are safe. I'm posting this Diptera that is frequently at my backyard. It's 1 or 1,5 mm long. I was seeking a possible family and I'd like to check with you if it belongs to the Milichiidae family.

Thanks

Diego Rosa

Chloropidae, antennae of the Elachiptera type but several other genera have similar antennae.

Thank you very much John I've found at Inaturalist some pictures of Elachiptera sp and it seems to be the same.
