I photographed this small fly (4-5 mm?) today at Leerdam, Netherlands. I thought it might be Lonchaeidae, but I am not sure. Could something be said about the family, or perhaps even species?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Jan,

I'd say Lauxaniidae - Calliopum sp?

It is. Not enough detail in the pics to identify it to species, but most likely either C. aeneum or C. simillimum.

Thank you, Andr? and Paul! What details are needed to identify it to species level? I have some more photographs of this fly, so perhaps ...
