Small nervous one with beautiful metal reflections. Haven't the faintest idea.

Dolichopodidae it will be.;) Very difficult group indeed.

Might be Medetera but the shine on the eyes and mesonotum is not usual.

From some distance it seemed blue- and pink-striped, but looking through the viewfinder it was clear that it was a "metallic" reflection, like a drop of oli in water. Very nice.

Will name it Medetera with some reserves.

Thanks again, Paul.:)
