Possibly Cnemacantha muscaria but that is based on gallery photos? They aren't very good photos but it was quite tiny
~3mm long SE England 29/07/2010, but any help gratefully received.

I also think Milichiidae, though I am not sure which genus.

ibrake wrote in another thread:
If you see the black 'M' on a fly like this, translate it to latin 'm-nigrum', which is a Desmometopa species. All European species of Desmometopa have the black 'M' on the frons. But I can't see which species this is. Does it have light (D. m-nigrum) or dark halters (D. sordida)?

Based on the first image the I'd then say another
Desmometopa.

Probably, but it is hard to see.
