Hello Anderzej and Paul,
Thank you for your reaction! I have changed the title as I think too that Opomyza germinationis will be right!

Hedy

Hello Mark,
I surely appreciate all you efforts to help to identify this fly. I don't know much about flies, maybe you're right, I will make a note to my photo!
Thanks for your reaction!!

I've studied a lot of specimens of both
Opomyza germinationis and
O. petrei. Based on this experience, I think the extant of the dark markings on the abdomen indicate this specimen being a female of
O. germinationis.
