Hello!

There were many Opomyzids around in the last days (see here). Most abundant was Opomyza florum. Before overwintering they become more greyish and dark. But I think, that only applies to the body, not the wings (??). Are the darker animals at the house wall from a different species? Northwest Germany.

Dark one:

Thanks! The more often I looked at it, the more clear it became...
