Hello!

This tiny (1.5-1.7 mm) fly rested at the wall of our house yesterday (northwest Germany). I think, Chloropidae. Elachiptera sp., too?

Looks like Eulimosina ochripes of the Sphaeroceridae.

Thanks, Paul! The long aristae should have ringed a bell. But the yellow legs and head looked too unsual to me for Sphaeroceridae - although I already had found that species, stored under the name Spelobia ochripes. The name Eulimosina is given as a subgenus in "Entomofauna germanica" (but my edition is about 10 years old).
