Hello,

Could it be Xanthochlorus tenellus ?
In Switzerland there is only another species, X. ornatus, but that one should have a mostly dark mesotonum (according to Igor Grichanov) whereas the one of my fly is mostly yellow like the rest of its body.
What do you think ? Thank you for your help !

7/7/2013, Vevey, Switzerland, near a river in a humid wood.
Size: 3.9 mm (body)
