Many thanks for help!

Could it be F. fucorum (wide gena and black legs)? Are there any other views that can help to ID?

Another view. Are all Fucellia typical seashore flies? This fly was found about 15 km from the seashore in our garden in a forest dominated landscape.

It is Fucellia fucorum female (black tibia). Most Fucellia are coastal, sometimes the coastal species are found up rivers. There are a few Scandibavian species found only on inland lakes, such as Lake Tornetrask in the North, such as Fucellia signata.

A good photo (the first one)Smile

Many thanks - nice to know which species!

There are small rivers from the coast up to this area - and perhaps even the strong winds which we have had several times this winther can transport some flies up here from the coast .........

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
