This little fly measured about 2 mm and was photographed August 4th at my mercury vapor lamp. West Virginia, USA, near woodland.

I would love to know what family.

Cecidomyiidae?

Cecidomyiidae - the venation looks very like that of Contarinia, but I don't know how many other genera look the same!
