Many thanks for help! Could it be F. fucorum (wide gena and black legs)? Are there any other views that can help to ID? Krister Edited by ebbek on 08-02-2014 20:35 |

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)  |

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 ......... Krister |
