Thread subject: Diptera.info :: Ephydridae - Scatella?

Hi,
I've been seeing lots of these small flies all around here, especially on the leaves in shadowy places. Ephydridae should be right, and Scatella tenuicosta of the gallery comes very close, I think. Can this taxon be confirmed?
Many thanks, Sundew

Hi Sundew
tenuicosta looks about right.

Many thanks, Tony! I have still more tiny ones in store that might be Ephydridae, but they have to wait until the end of my holidays. I hope for your help then :).
