I think this small fly is Anthomyiidae not Muscidae, maybe Anthomyia sp. Is it possible to confirm this or even to get to species?. A long shot maybe as there must be many similar species and I only have this one pic. Too small, too windy to try for more...

31.5.11 c.5mm feeding on umbel Lesbos, Greece.

Anthomyia sp. female is right.

Many thanks Stephen. I'm encouraged that I got to the right family/genus and know that's as far as this little fly is likely to go!
