Dates: Germany, Schleswig-Holstein, Büdelsdorf near Rendsburg, way in a high forest along the lake of Obereidersee, 5 msm, Outsidefoto: kuv, 4th of November 2012, about 14 o'clock. The insect was flying to the ground, sitting at the underside of a downfallen leave (to take a photo I hold the leave to the sun). ID possible? Please help.

Not a fly, but an aphid (plant louse).
