 This Brachycera was found on the shore of a lake just outside Stockholm Sweden beginning of May. Is it possible to say what genus it is (or even species)? If important details don't show on the images it is possible to take additional photos since the specimen is preserved in alcohol.

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.

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.
