Several of these about today. Hebecnema sp? Maybe H. vespertina ?? Maybe an expert can say if I'm anywhere close? Wiltshire SW UK 21.4.10 nick upton attached the following image:  [123.87Kb] Nick Upton - naturalist and photographer |

Hebecnema seems correct, but not H. vespertina, the eyes seem distinctly hairy. I think the halters are fuscous, so H. nigra would be my guess.

Many thanks again, Stephane. Seems I got close at least, and am slowly learning more about Muscidae. Lots of them about for the last few days. Nick Nick Upton - naturalist and photographer |
