Just one quick picture before it disappeared...
Can anyone tell the name or family of this little fly..?

Thanks

It reminds me of Schoenomyza litorella (Muscidae)...

Me, too, but I could not recall it having markings in the wings...

Will a Schoenomyza cf litorella do or is Schoenomyza spec. better?

Schoenomyza has only one species, S. litorella. I am also bothered by the marks on the wings, but what could it be else ?

There is another Schoenomyza recently placed in the forum. I noticed shading along the cross veins there. Viewing the shading from the side might result in a spot-like appearance?

Could be a good explanation... :)

So it is an uncertain Schoenomyza litorella ;)

Thanks Paul and Stephan!
