Could this be Bellardia spec. and could perhaps something more be said about its identity? This pretty fly was about 7 mm long. Photographed on March 14th at Amsterdamse Waterleidingduinen (dunes), Netherlands. Thanks in advance! Jan Zwaaneveld attached the following image:  [150.02Kb] http://slamenietd...web-log.nl |

I'm not sure. Was it really green on the abdomen or is the light tricky ? The dusting vittae on the thorax rather suggest Melinda, in which case the abdomen really must be blue. Theo |

Hello Theo, I'm 100% certain the abdomen was green. I noticed it in the field and at first I thought it was Neomyia or something like it. Here's another photo from a slightly different angle. Jan Zwaaneveld attached the following image:  [129.21Kb] http://slamenietd...web-log.nl |

The second picture looks indeed like Bellardia. Theo |
