Hello,
Pierre Duhem : France : Bessans : 73480 : 08/08/2024
Altitude : 1680 m - Taille : 6-7 mm
Réf. : 349311
I can't find a match for this critter in the Lauxaniidae family, with yellow head, scutellum and abdomen, grey thorax and dark apex of antenna.
Does this ring a bell for some of you?
Thanks in advance.

Nobody? Minettia?

Not
Minettia because it lacks a postsutural intra-alar bristle. Not
Pherbellia because it has 3 pairs of postsutural dorsocentrals and convergent postocellar bristles.

Check in Heteromyzinae, which tend to lack the costal spines typical of Heleomyzidae.

And what about
Pherbellia dubia ♀?

Maybe
Tephrochlamys tarsalis ?

The bicolored and elongated postpedicel and also the anepisternal seta exlude this specimen from Heleomyzidae ...
