Size 2.5mm.
These small long-winged flies was one of the most common catches throughout the whole last month in various grassland habitats, but I failed to shoot them somehow.

Asteiidae,
Asteia concinnia Meigen, at least that is what it would be in GB, possibly similar species out your way?

It is rather common on semi-dry grasslands here in Finland from mid-July to mid-August.
According to Fauna Europaea there are a bunch of Asteia species in the Mediterranean, but only three in Central Europe (concinna, elegantula and amoena).
