Hi, I think this is Asteiidae. I made some interesting videos of it, I'll show them (how to put a viewable Youtube link here?). They were on dead wood (freshly cut). Some 2 mms.

Could this one be Paranthomyza nitida (male)?

I think Asteiidae was correct, Leiomyza sp.

for example -- for the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NieRx4HPLTs

you should take the last part NieRx4HPLTs , after you must select this code and click in the youtube button.



Yes, asteiid, no doubts. I agree with Stéphane.

look at the wing venation. There are no transversal veins conspicuous (there are 2 very near/near the base of the wing - not visible in your photos). I only know this family to have this feature.
In your photos is not visible but the arista is peculiar -- it has an alternate pair of hairs along the arista.

Oh, I see nowFrown. When I saw the females of Paranthomyza nitida, I also photopraphed what I thought was a male of this anthomyzid species. Maybe it was Leiomyza sp. as well.

It looks as if it is difficult even for them to tell males and females apart...

I need to make a last confirmation but it looks like Leiomyza scathophagina with the yellow knobs on the halteres.

Hmm, dark knobs of the halteres after all: Leiomyza dudai Sabrosky, 1956 (dorsocentral setae about their length removed from the anterior margin of the scutellum).
