Thanks a lot, Juergen. Any chance to get a species ID? I collected the specimen...

Therefore you'll have to wait for Paul or others. I'm just happy that I recognize the genus of these tiny flies... ;)

You're in luck, a species ID is possible:
Platypalpus cursitans. Recognisable by the lack of a glossy patch on the sternopleuron, the shape of M1+2 (the way it is curved), the colour of the antennae and the annulationsd on the tarsi.
