During last month I often find this 3-4mm fly mostly in shadow places.
May be somebody help me to find the Family?

It's a lauxanid fly, probably of genus
Meiosimyza (=
Lyciella in older articles)

I will have to check the keys, but my gut feeling says
Sapromyza. Unfortunately, most of my keys are in the office and out of reach at the moment. I will get back. ;)

Sapromyza shouldn't have strong pre-sutural dorsocentral setae and this fly clearly has one presutural pair of dc. So my gut feeling is still
Meiosimyza, but it could still be something else. But no Finnish
Meiosimyza has a reddish mesonotum. :-? A clear-winged
Homoneura perhaps?
