From today just north of Stockholm, Sweden. A rather small fly, aprox 4-5 mm I think.

A Chloropid, it seems. A good clue it the rather large ocellar triangle.

Looks rather like a Meromyza species - very difficult to identify females. Sad

Hello!

I have just found a rather similar fly here in Germany today. It was only 3 mm long. Is this also Meromyza? Thanks!
