Dipteran?
Amila Salgado
Photographed in my home garden today. IT was 6-7mm in length. They were in good numbers this morning. The day before was a very rainy one. Is this a Dipteran?

Welcome Amila!
This is Hymenoptera - not sure which family - Chalcidoidea, I think.

wings number isn't always easy to see but:
- very thin first terguites of the abdomen
- eyes situated at the sides of the head
Though there are exceptions, this two things point at Hymenoptera
Look at this one, for instance, itīs Tachysphex (Hymenoptera) but with fly-like eyes

By the other hand, your picīs one has spectacular antennae; more than 3 segments are Nematocera (in Diptera)

(Oh, a better answer appeared while I was writing, sorry)
