Hello!

Another one from our house wall last night (Ostwestfalen/Germany). This one was only 1-1,5 mm (so no better pics technically possible). Is has a metallic shine like a Dolichopodid, but is not as slender.

Thanks! I should have taken that family into account, but all Ephydrids I have seen, yet, were not metallic...

Difficult to be sure, but it could be one of the Psilopa species

At least resembles very much the Psilopas here in some forum threads when using the search function. Thanks!
