Anyone has any idea of what species this fly belongs to? I do not even know the family. (Size is small cc 5 mm)

Anthomyiidae, I'd say. |

Any more opinion? If an Anthomyiid, this must be a distinctive genus. I think this fly has to do something with Hymenopterans. Gabor Keresztes Japan Wildlife Gallery Carpathian Basin Wildlife Gallery |

I raise this one. Nikita, Tony, Kahis do you have any vague idea which genus it might be?

Gabor If it was taking a close interest in an Andrena sp then it could be Leucophora - and looking at it, although it is different to my two species, I can believe that it could be Leucophora. Leucophora are inquilines in Andrena nests. Susan |

Well, I agree with Jorge that it is an anthomyiid - but why do you think it has something to do with Hymenoptera, Gabor ? - Was it close to some aculeate burrows?

I made this photo on a decaying brick wall, which hosted a large colony of Hymenoptera. Unfortunately I do not know the family of Hymenoptera. There were a few Gasteruptionids and a few of these flies going around and checking out the holes occupied by the wasps. Note that this fly was small, among the smallest Anthomyiids I have ever seen. cc. 4 mm.
