Thought this was Microchrysa polita when I was photographing it yesterday, but too dark and hairy plus orange above antennae...doesn't look like Lejogaster metallina either...anyone enlighten me on what it might be? Size was about 3-4mm.

More like Piophilidae, an acalyptate fly.

I think it is Stearibia nigriceps.
