I caught this little fly in Nieuwvliet, the Netherlands. It has white halters. Does someone know its name or isn't it possible to say?

Thanks for confirming the family, Paul. I thought it should be Chloropidae because the frontal triangle was vere obvious as seen in other Chloropidae. I'll post some extra pictures for Sara.

That's Chloropinae! and also I think looks like Cryptonevra sp.! But for sure I will ask to an expert about this ID! Smile
