Found a couple of days ago at Little Ayre, Muckle Roe, here in Shetland. I think it's a Psila sp. going by the look of it. The only one of those on my checklist is Psila humeralis (Zett.)..anybody confirm this? Only one photo..and that's a bit blurred  EDIT....Sciomyzidae added to headline!

I think it's not Psilidae! Maybe Sciomyzidae?
Sincerely yours Sara |

You know what Sara...I think you are right (never going to hear the end of this  ) DAMN!!!!Right forget all that guff I wrote about Psilids above..  TAKE 2:- I have one Sciomyzidae on my checklist..( which isn't correct anyway) but that one is Tetanocera robusta (Loew ) ...could this be it?? Regards  Roger  |

Well Sara I think it might be a photo of a Tetanocera arrogans (female) by Nikita Vikhrev taken in the region of Moscow somewhere (because it says so), other than that? Is it a trick question? But seriously (almost), I think my fly is a species of Tetanocera but I don't think it is ID'able from this photo. I might need to go back to that marshy field and try to find another one. Another wet ass beckons Regards R ger |

It is a Tetanocera. Male of Tetanocera robusta is easy to ID if we can see the right side of the abdomen tip, as its epandrium bears an asymmetrical process in this side.
