Hi

On May 12. 2009 I swept this charming fly from tall dry grasses on the edge of a birch forest near Copenhagen.
Apart from the tip of the scutellum there are no setae on the body, but all of the fly including its eyes are covered with short golden hairs. Body length ~ 5 mm.

I suppose it is some kind of Chloropidae, but otherwise I am clueless.
Does anyone have a suggestion?

Cheers,
Walther
