Dear forum,
I took these pictures today in my glasshouse. Is it possible to identify this small (~ 5 mm) fly from these pictures?
Best regards, Niek

Dear Jorge,
Concerning your questionmark: It looks indeed very much like the Palloptera ustulata in the gallery and other pictures I found on the internet. How should I record it: uncertain Palloptera ustulata or Palloptera cf ustulata? Thank you for your advice.
Best regards, Niek
