Small fly, approximately 2 mm long.

What can we learn about it?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Thank you very much for your help. :)
I'll edit the title to see if anyone can complete the ID...
I've collected the specimen, so I could take more photographs to help determine its ID and even send it to a specialist who might be willing to study it firsthand.

Best regards.
