Hello

Today, I took photos of this small fly in my garden. I think it's a Platypezidae, but I don't know this family. Is it possible to say more on this picture ? Thank you in advance.

Maybe something like a male Platypeza consobrina ?

Hi, a male Callomyia amoena? Do you have a lateral view, too?

Vein M is forked, so no Callomyia.

Thank you for your answers. Smile

I don't have more lateral view, the fly flew away before I tried to take other pictures. Sorry.
