Very tiny fly, reference standard screen door wire for size reference. Could this be the world's tiniest syrphid fly?
I find no "add image" location so I am submitting additional images to the one submitted on Aug 5; this is the same individual, photo taken the same day, first was top view without flash, others were top view with flash and underbelly from the other side of the screen. Thanks for researching this little guy.

Thank you for drilling down to fully describe this tiny fly! Your dedication is greatly appreciated and, hopefully, this image will add further meaningful detail to your database.
