Can anyone put a name to this pretty little fly. Maybe a Lonchaea sp? but I never saw one with eyes like this before and cant fid any pics that match. So maybe something else altogether?

21.6.11 c 6mm Wiltshire garden, UK

Many thanks Jorge. So many little flies so subtly different... Must keep learning...
