Hi,
I'm no expert, far from it, but could this rather small fly (~4-5mm) be a
Delia platura?
On grass (as I recall) at the edge of the forest 13 June 2008 (Helsingborg, Sweden)
Thanks!

Delia platura Meigen, male. Note pv fringe on whole length of hind tibia, this character shared with Delia florilega (also quite common), the latter species also has a dorsal fringe on middle metatarsus, whiich I can't see in the photo as it is out of focus.
