Hello,

This very tiny fly (say 1 to 2mm, see the ivy stems) remains unknown for me. Thanks for any clue.

One of the small black chloropids, perhaps Oscinella.

Hi Pierre,

Have a close look at your picture. You can see the large ocellar triangle, which is a very good indication for your specimen being a chloropid.
