No clue here either.

Intrigueing. Perhaps an agromyzid of some sort. Get the feeling I have seen it before... :|

This was also in the very small size range, 2 mm or so.

The posture reminded me of Dolichopodidae, though...

Several ephydrids will sit like this too, but I can't make it into anything I know there. It doesn't sit like a chloropid, otherwise I'd suggest a small oscinelline. What a puzzle!
One day someone will post a picture of a previously unknown genus!:D

This year, at Dahab, Sinai I met small 2-2,5mm, on the house wall near sea.
Fly still left unidentified.
It seems to me it is nearly same?

This is a tethinid - it is similar, but note that the thorax is dusted so that it is quite dull, and the fly sits closer to the ground. I can't think of any tethinids that sit more upright and are shiny!

I think they belong to different genera but maybe to the same family.I start to think that we are in the Ephydrid territory...

One of the more characteristic feature of this fly seems to be the light first 2 abdominal segments. Does it help?
