I photographed this small black fly with big red eyes today at Leerdam, Netherlands.
Mark van Veen thinks it is probably Pipunculidae. Could someone confirm that, or perhaps put a genus of even species name on it?

Thank you in advance!

More like Platypezidae I think - going by the shape of the wings. :)

Yes Chris, probably. Mark and I came to the same conclusion after finding this topic on diptera.info:

Could mine be P. atra as well?
