This little fly has the habitus of Chloropidae, but not the family's characteristics: large ocellar triangle, and nick in the cubital vein. I can't key it out satisfactorily. Is it Chloropidae after all?

I think this is a male Acletoxenus formosus (Drosophilidae)

Acletoxenus formosus is correct. Any more details on the locality?

In my kitchen - Soest (NL). For some reason i had the idea that Drosophilidae always have feathered antennal bristles.. I'll need to go through the key again to see where I went wrong. Thanks a lot for the identification! |

You may have gone wrong because of broken fronto-orbital setae. It looks as if there are only two pairs on your first picture.
