I'm curious what this might be. Found in an area with mountain birch, bushes and bogs, about 1000 m asl,
- where I rarely find parasitic flies. 6,2 mm. Northern part of southern Norway on 23 June.

First impression is male Aplomyia confinis, but the fifth tergite should be shiny black. So I am not sure. does it look black when you look obliquely from behind ?

That is much better, indeed, thank you.

Aplomyia it is.

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
