Hi!

A 5 mm fly on an apple from a meadow with fruit trees (northwest Germany) two days ago. I think, Heleomyzidae. Is a closer ID possible? Thanks!

Hmm, really a heleomyzid fly !.
Look like as a small specimen of Schroederella iners ! but I'm not fully convinced :|
Did you make a lateral shot ?

Thanks, Andrzej! Maybe it was rather 6 than 5 mm.

No, sorry. I was not in the mood for laying down in the wet grass... ;)
