Small (approx 3mm) fly found in Still bay region of South Africa, 5km from the coast. Sitting on a lemon tree leaf. I wondered about Drosophila with the vibrissa and costal break but the arista are bare and head looks a bit different to me. The white abdomen is quite striking. Any help with ID would be appreciated. Thanks Philip Edit 1: Title edited to reflect the family after ID by Tony Flippie attached the following image:  [191.54Kb] Edited by Flippie on 06-04-2016 08:37 |

Looks like Milichia (Milichiidae)
