This small fly walked over the water surface of my garden pond (NL). I found the green eyes and yellow metatarsi (leg 2 and 3) striking. Can anybody help me to determine the species or at least family? Thanks! RE Niks attached the following image:  [298.48Kb] Edited by RE Niks on 20-08-2023 14:13 |

Yes, it's Hydrellia, but unable to say which species from this photo.
