Photos 11 Jul 2017, Badem, RLP, Germany. Fly or flies are on plum leaf that probably has aphid dew on it. Second photo (fly) seems to have mites.

Hi Jim Senn,
With the straight face and the katepisternum only dusted in upper posterior corner:
Saltella nigripes
Robineau-Desvoidy, 1830.
A very nice find!
Kind regards,
Ectemnius
