Hello!
I found this small (5-7 mm) fly today on a meadow near a forest, but have no idea of the family, rather than it's another
Lauxaniidae. Or what else could it be? Thanks!

Once I met a fly looking like yours (exept shape of antenae).

To tell truth, Kahis's ID still leave some doubts in my mind. For instance, I can't see that line on thorax isn't break as it have to be for Muscoid according family keys I have.

Hi J?rgen,
If I would have to put a family name to your fly, it would be Lauxaniidae. Maybe one of the others can give a positive identification.
And Nikita, although I can understand your doubt about the identification of your fly, I totally agree with Kahis that it is not a member of the Lauxaniidae!
