This 'lil fella is very tiny. I've seen them in the garden for quite some time, I would like to know what it is. Thanks.

Another view for scale. The leave belongs to Blue Sky Vine.

This appears to be a fly rather than a bee, but the image is too small and fuzzy to attempt a determination.

Those little metallic-colored flies are often from the family "Dolichopodidae"
