I don't think so - looks more like Diastatidae.

Certainly looks very like it. Don't worry too much about getting the family wrong. Even now I sometimes go off in the wrong direction for hours!  Then suddenly everything becomes clear and it all seems simple!  Fortunately we have the Diptera-info site to help - it is like a school for dipterists where we all can learn new things.

Certainly Diastata, but I'll have to get back to you on the species - I think there is more than one species that looks like nebulosa.

Although the specimens don't belong to the family Opomyzidae, they are still beautifull  .Jan Willem |

I readily agree Jan . Maybe it's also worth noting, never saw this one flying, just walking and making short jumps. |
