Help ! Can anyone suggest a name for this one?

1mm, female?, from 19 May 2008, lowland (95masl) central France, la Brenne, from a field occasionally grazed by cattle, but showing signs of scrub regeneration.

Chloropidae - possibly something like Siphonella

Thanks Tony – Chloropidae was my gut feeling about what it was, but I really didn't know.

It has hairy eyes. Does that narrow it down in any useful way?
