Hello!
With this only 4 mm long fly I am even not sure about the family. Heleomyzidae? Perhaps
Scoliocentra? The wing markings and size reminded me of Pallopteridae at first... At the light in our garden tonight, northwest Germany.

It grieves me to say it Joke but you are probably right...How about
Palloptera scutellata :D
Maybe the same as this one ?

Hi, all!
Thanks! Pallopteridae was indeed my first thought, too (as I wrote). But when comparing it with my own
P. scutellata pics and the one in the gallery, I did not find it very convincing. This one seemed much brighter in colours, more like a
Tephrochlamys (Heleomyzidae). But you are right: the wing markings match
Palloptera scutellata very well (even though those of the specimen in the gallery are much stronger).
