Hello,
a 3-4 mm fly on low vegetation near a small rivulet (northwest Germany).

perhaps Platypezidae? Lonchaeidae never have holoptic eyes

Hallo Jürgen, from what I see it could be the male
Polyporivora ornata
.

Thank you Iain and Eric!
So I still have to wait for the first Lonchaeid this year (there was no
Earomiya lonchaeoides
this spring and still no
Silba fumosa
).
