I found this 3mm long fly running on Acer leaves today (29 May) on the edge of mixed woodland in N Scotland. Can anyone suggest even a family that I can chase up, please? Murdo syrphus attached the following image:  [76.71Kb] Edited by syrphus on 29-05-2015 20:09 |

I'm non-expert: To me it looks like Hybotidae, Tachydromia sp. (see http://www.diptera.info/photogallery.php?photo_id=8537) Greetings Kuv |

Looks spot on, Kuv. Thanks - I will get the key and post any verdict. M. |

It keys out convincingly from the key at http://www.dipteristsforum.org.uk/documents/Tachydromia_Revised_Key.pdf as Tachydromia umbrarum, female, so unless anyone suggests caution I will run with that. Another excellent result from this splendid site. M. |
