Today I found this tiny fly, 1.7mm, on a wall in Minas de Riotinto.

I don't recognise it. :|

I would be happy with its family.


¡Saludos!
André

Leptometopa latipes? Males have the enlarged hind tibia. I don't know if you have other similar species.

Thanks, John!

We have 3 species in Spain: latipes, niveipennisb and rufifrons.

And don't know whether they are similar, but I will look into it.
