The picture looks somewhat supernatural . the colours of D.repleta are usually less contrasting. But yes, apparently it is repleta.

Thank you, Jan Maca.

Indeed, to the naked eye, this small fly, with a body length of just three mm, appears very dark and hardly any details.
The increase in macro photography and flash lighting reveals the drawings and colors of his body.
I add another photograph of its dorsal view. Both this photograph and the previously uploaded one can be seen in larger size by clicking on them.
