Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Gymnocheta viridis?

This fly here is, to my best guess from Collin's general insect field guide a Gymnocheta viridis. Can anyone confirm or refute this?

When I've positively identified it, the picture will be put on the Wikipedia, so to avoid any perpetuation of a mistake, it's essential that it is not the wrong species.

Unfortunately, I've only got this side view of the fly.

Thanks in advance,
