Hello
such "broken" body profile I have seen only in the case of Stegana furta (Drosophilidae) in the gallery. Is it also Drosophilidae (Stegana, Steganina?), or something different?
size 3.5 mm, Slovakia, open land, 200 m a.s.l.
Thanks in advance.
Martin

Hi Martin,
What about
Discomyza (Ephydridae)? See also Diptera Gallery.

It is really more similar to Discomyza, thanks a lot, Jan! Is it possible to go also to species level?

Hi Martin,
I believe that
Discomyza incurva is the only known species in the palaearctic region. So that should be the one:). Maybe one of the others can confirm this!

Jan, I must thank you again. I have never seen such fly before and I have only limited information on Ephydridae. To me, this fly looks like from other planet, :).
