Hello,

This little fly is about 4mm, is genus Azelia correct ? Is it possible for someone to reach the species with these low quality photos ? I've tried to follow a key and by elimination and skipping probably too much details not visible on my pictures I end to the duo Azelia cilipes / Azelia nebulosa but apparently it's not as easy as it seems...

Thanks for your opinions.
