Can anyone help me with the ID of this small black fly seen in a damp meadow in the UK. (About 3-4mm from memory, but not reliable.)

Should be Nemotelus, Stratiomyiidae.

Many thanks Viktor.
Having had a look in Stubbs and Drake's book on British soldierflies I'm thinking female Nemotelus nigrinus (no forking of R4+5, no white markings). Does anyone see any objections to that?
