Moscow region, 29 july, 3-4 mm.
I can't ID it even with collected fly.
It seems to me that wing corner is more than 90, ac absent, female...

May be it is Rh. lamellata?
f3 ventraly at apical part with row of setas, the more apicaly, the longer setas.

Nikita - I don't have any
lamellata, but from Collin's description, I think your specimen has legs that are too dark. Also
lamellata females should have a single ventral bristle below the tip of the hind femora, rather than a series as you describe. If I were you, I'd put the fly to one side for a couple of months (or years) and come back to it again with a fresh approach (and more comparative material). ;)

Perhaps, just perhaps, it is
umbripennis that has rather dark legs in my experience.

Thank you Tony and Paul.
If umbripennis, it at least means that I searched in right district of key!
