Another very small (few mm) and beautiful fly at Leerdam, Netherlands today. I have no clue about its id. Any help is much appreciated!

A soldierfly, Nemotelus. May be pantherinus, but I'm guessing now... Nice fly!

Yes, it is a nice little fly, isn't it? Thanks for your help, Cor.
Perhaps someone can confirm it is N. pantherinus?

Yes, everything fits pantherinus perfectly. :)

Is it supposed to look like this or is it infected by some fungus?
