Can anyone identify this fellow? He was feeding on something that was on fern fronds in the central area of the Adirondack mountains in upstate New York. I could not determine what he was eating, but it was clear he was. My recollection was that he was perhaps 4mm long, but I am not certain of that.

Thanks

Sciomyzidae.
Probably Tetanocera.
