Terrible picture, but interesting Dolichopodidae fly as it is only yellow with green eyes.
Someone knows the name of this fly...?
Picture is made 14-7-2008 in Zeist, Holland

Dear Hedy2411,
Only two species of Xanthochlorus (ornatus, tenellus) are known from The Netherlands, although two additional species have been collected in the UK. I would not be too sure, but it's probable that you are dealing with X. tenellus. Only the male can help you out, here.
Cheers,
Marc
