Hello!

This fly in our nightly garden (northwest Germany) measured only about 1.8 mm. I'm not sure, where to put it. I indecisive between Scaptomyza pallida (Drosophilidae) and Chloropidae (Osncinellinae?).

Thanks, Sara! Then it must be some Scaptomyza. I often find them there in the garden at low flowers also at day.
Best regards,
Jürgen
