Dear dipterists,
can this pair of diptera be identified or their family? I suppose it belongs to Chloropidae. But, the only book I have states, that Chloropidae are tiny and have a body length of c. 2 mm. This pair, however, was larger: 5-7 mm.

Observation data: Austria, province Salzburg, Salzburg greywacke alps, meadow near montaneous mixed forest, 1100 m, June 2, 2016.

Thank you very much in advance for your help.
Best regards,

Chloropidae. A few Chloropidae exceed 5 mm.

Dear John,
thank you very much for confirming the familiy of Chloropidae. If there are only a few species exceeding 5 mm, does anyone could perhaps identify the genus?

Best regards,
