Dilophus. It might be febrilis. I don't know what the other species look like.

A female of Dilophus febrilis - they are frequently seen at the moment. Females have tinted wings with a clear tip. The males' wings are clear except the black stigma, and the males have very big eyes (the whole head is eyes).
Regards, Sundew

P.S. The ring of spines at the tip of the front tibia makes it a Dilophus, a Bibio has a stout spine at the tip of the tibia.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
