Hello,

while collecting some beetles in a horse dung I found this small fly of 2mm body length (with wings about 2,3mm). What is it?

Thanks,
Michael

Ischiolepta seems a possibility.

Hello,

thank you for the answer. Given the raspy thorax and the white scale like hairs on it, this looks very good to me.
