Hi,

This afternoon, on the top of calcar rocks in Comblain (BE), this little (2-3 mm) insect dropped on my wife's finger. Just one picture and it flew away. I think it is a Diptera but I'm not sure (but what else ?). What's your opinion ?

On the top of the head you can see the large, dark ocellar triangle. This is Chloropidae. It has the feeel of Elachiptera.
