This fly too seemed to be resting on a giant squash leaf. The length of this one was 2.4 mm. Open area near woodland, West Virginia, USA, taken yesterday. ID help appreciated! Stephen attached the following image:  [55.51Kb] --Stephen Stephen Cresswell www.americaninsects.net |

I think it is Chloropidae.

Very delicate for Chloropidae, but you could be right. My first impression was Asteiidae, though.
