Montsinéry, French Guiana, 29 May 2011. Lowland where savannah meets the rain forest. Length, 5.1 mm to apex of wings. Unlike most Dolis, this one didn't fly every time the flash went off. ID help would be appreciated!

This image isn't so sharp. I took it with natural light to show the blue-purple highlights the fly had.

Sciapodinae, might be Condylostylus

Yes, Condylostylus, the largest sciapodine genus in the Neotropics.
