Very grateful for their identification.
With your guidance I edit the title, hoping that some other specialist also wants to give us their opinion.

Best wishes

Well, its posture reminded me of some small dark Stratiomyiids, but I overlooked the very small size, and I was not aware of Chloropids with hairy eyes. However, it might well be something like Calamoncosis (compare http://diptera.in...pid=112566). There are several species known from the Mediterranean region (http://ibdigital....49p173.pdf). So I fully concur with Dmitry's opinion!
