Tachinidae. Looks like a Gymnosoma; however, I do not know any black species. The females of Cistogaster are black but have different antennae... So ask a Tachinid expert! |

Interesting ... it can really only be Gymnosoma nitens, I think, if the size really is 3mm and the antennae aren't deceiving us  There are some orange side patches just visible on the abdomen so it isn't entirely black anyway
