From a couple of years ago: a tiny Tachinid fly, probably Phasia pusilla (Diptera: Tachinidae).
[Note added 2014-08-29: This may actually be Phasia barbifrons. This year I have collected several specimens and these have all turned out to be barbifrons (yellow halteres) rather than pusilla (brown halteres).]
