Very small Doli photographed in my garden in summer. Can anyone put a name to it from this one and only shot?

Rhaphium is more probable than
Argyra.

Thanks Igor
I only have one species of Rhaphium on my Checklist which is R.brevicorne, but due to small size of these, others could have been overlooked.
I also only have one Argyra on my Checklist..A.perplexa.
So Rhaphium sp. maybe?
Regards Roger

The supapical arista and the silvery white coating on abdomen point to Argyra.

Certainly not R.brevicorne. A.perplexa is possible.
