Kesselimyia ?
Lippo
It was circling at full speed on a banana leaf and from time to time showed bright red reflections.

Size is between 2 & 3 mm. The wing veins on the one hand and the large tarsus of the hind leg on the other hand may suggest this genus.

Bad choice ?

I am sorry to bother again, but I cannot see anything else actually and the only species in France seems to be K. chandleri.

I understand that the poor quality of the photos is an obstacle to any attempt to identify with certainty, but could we simply answer to this question: Unlikely or not unlikely ?
