I found this fly today in a small wooded area near the river Linge near Leerdam, Netherlands. It was appr. 5 mm long. I think it could be Hydrotaea (Muscidae), is that correct? And is it possible to tell which species it is from these photographs? Thanks in advance for any help.

This is a male Fannia. Maybe Nikita can say more...

Oh yes, the only Fannia with elongated mouth edge and club-shaped abdomen ! I had noticed these features in my little notebook (words from Kahis) but I didn't remember. I add your chaetotaxy remarks.
