Hi,

I have found this small (about 3mm long) fly in a deciduous forest near Paris.
I think it belongs to the family Sciaridae but don't know to which genus/species it can be belong.
Any idea? Thanks for your help!

Most female Sciaridae look like this. You will need a specimen to say which genus it is, and a male specimen to be sure of the species.
