Hello Kurt,

looks to me like Madiza glabra (Milichiidae).
Best regards,
Jürgen

Hello kurt & Juergen,

I'd say Chloropidae. Madiza misses the shiny part around the ocelli, has a shorter and wider scutellum and in the wing; vein r2+3 is shorter and vein r4+5 is longer and ends in the costa in a sharper angle
It's more akin to Polydaspis sp (Chloropidae).

Kind regards,
Ectemnius
