A small and beautiful one with golden thorax and some nice golden hair too. I think it could be a Platypezidae. But I couldn't find any quite like this on in the gallery.
Can it be identified?

Size: ~3mm
Date: 8 November 2008
Location: On a wooden railing around a pond (Helsingborg, Sweden)

Thank You!

Male Simuliidae, I think.
