 Hi,
Though these are rather small flies and accordingly difficult to image for my camera, I see from wing venation that they belong to Platypezidae. Is it possible to get to a genus name?
Photographed in Berlin in October.
Many thanks, Sundew

 My suggestion is Platypeza consobrina

 Many thanks, Tony. I do hope that the two individuals really belong to the same species, as there was no copulation to watch. However, they would make a nice couple!

I have just received the very sad news that Peter Chandler has died after a fall at home yesterday. I have no other details at the moment. We shall miss him terribly.

Dr Michael von Tschirnhaus, a leading expert on Chloropidae and Agromyzidae, died on 16 September 2025 at the age of 86. He will be greatly missed by the international community. R.I.P.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
