Northern Germany, Schleswig-Holstein, Pinneberg-Waldenau near Hamburg, bridge to the mixed forest Klövensteen (pine trees, beeches, birches, oaks and other), at a wooden barrier; 16th of July 2025; photos: kuv.
I've never seen such small fly; but the form let me think of Chloropidae like for example the female of Gampsocera numerata (s. https://diptera.i...o_id=11782). Please help to get the ID.
