Hello!

This fly at the wall of our house today (northwest Germany) was not much over 1 mm. I think it might be Ephydridae. Possibly Hydrellia sp.?

Thanks to you both! Seems also more similar from the general look. Must have overlooked it in the gallery...

Thanks! That came into my mind, too, when I finally saw it in the gallery ;). But I did not know, if there are similar species.
