Hello!
Among the hundreds of 2 mm
Drosophilas of the
obscura group (?,
http://www.foto-u...bscura.jpg) at my banana baits in the garden (northwest Germany) there was this slightly bigger (3-4 mm) fly yesterday. I'm not sure about the family: also Drosophilidae or maybe Anthomyzidae (oder even Asteiidae)?

Unfortunately the fly was too high in the tree, so that I could not get a dorsal view.

Not for a beginner like me ;). Drosophilidae was my first guess, too. But the very long wings made me unsure. Looking through the gallery this detail reminded me most of Anthomyzidae.
