Hi,
I would have thought that even someone like me could identify this pretty little fly.
But it looks like I need your help yet again.

I'd say Melieria cf. omissa (Ulidiidae)

Thanks to both of you.
No wonder I couldn't find it if I'm too daft even to find the correcty family

No, you ain't. I know at least two very best experts in the Tephritoidea who confessed they started their scientific career from attempts to ID sciomyzids or ulidiids with the key to Tephritidae species. The third was I myself.

Very nice pics - wished I'd find it here, too!
