No, this one is an oscinelline chloropid. Possibly near Elachiptera?

When I look at it and to the rough structure on the upper part, then indeed Elachiptera could by possible. But I miss in my foto the long antennae http://www.cedarcreek.umn.edu/insects/album/029094007ap.html But we have 8 sort of Elachiptera in the Netherlands , so it can contain species without such large antennae.....(or my fly has hidden them) Many thanks for your help !!!!!

Chloropid flies have a big triangular ocellar zone as we can see clearly in these photos and they are usually small/very small.  |

Elachiptera species have quite a short, rounded 3rd antennal segment, but in some species (as in the ones from Cedar Creek) the arista is very thickened, giving the appearance of a much longer antenna.
