This Chloropidae was found in a meadow east of Gothenburg. I tried to identify it with Fauna Entomologica Scandinavica and then I came to Thaumatomyia. Costal vein does not reach beyond R4+5 -> Chloropinae Johane attached the following image:  [161.42Kb] Edited by Johane on 19-04-2020 17:16 Johan Ennerfelt |

I think there are bristles within side margins of ocellar triangle and then it should be Thaumatomyia.

However, it doesn't seem to have a flattened scutellum.

I am sure that fly can be identified by our expert Michael von Tschirnhaus; unfortunately he visits the forum only seldom. You should write him a Private Message, he will help. |

looks like a grass fly to me. Family Chloropidae (Frit Flies) Subfamily Chloropinae (Grass Flies) Genus Chlorops hope this helps. I am not an expert. |
