Moscow, park, 18 may, 6-6,5mm, one of a kind.
Is it Gymnochaeta viridis?

Nikita - this looks like viridis but ours are a different and very distinctive shade of green (lighter) at least when alive. I am sure Chris (Raper) would know. Robert

It is - indeed - a female Gymnochaeta viridis

Thank you Theo and Robert.
In this case my doubts were also due small size of fly.

Hi Susan,
You're right, that's the same species: Gymnochaeta viridis

Thanks Theo. They are a particularly beautiful rich emerald colour, I think.

I think that the name is Gymnocheta viridis (Fall?n) (dixit FE) ?
