Hi
I'm hoping for an ID for this guy. He is really tiny about 2mm in length. In the photo he is sitting on a blade of grass. The habitat is light forest. Location is Singapore. I'm guessing a small hover fly but it's a complete guess.

Thanks.

David.

I think it's a Chlorops, it's a large and difficult genus
