Hi,

did not find a match in Agromyzidae, Chloropidae, Chyromyidae.
Found on a blackberry bush in a park in Vienna.

Btw, concerning Acalyptrates with plumose antennae, I know of Drosophilidae, Ephydridae, Periscelidae and Stenomicridae. Are there many more?

Asteidae, I think.

Check Asteia algeriensis.

Thank you John,

I checked the family, there is Asteia elegantula which fits my specimen. A. algeriensis looks different.
If I am correct, the silvery stripe between the eyes indicates a male?
In fauna europaea only A. concinna is reported from Austria - that one I can exclude.

Cheers,
Lorin

I read the key (https://www.onlin...p?key_no=6) too quickly. The species I named is darker. See if you can run your fly through the key.

The key leads me to Asteia elegantula as well.
