Following up on the Empis tesselatta ID earlier, could this be a male E. tesselata? Found in a very battered condition in East Lincs, UK on 02 Jun 2008. Three images follow. Background is 2mm grid. Is the proboscis extendable? The length looks different in images 1 and 3. Thanks Alan aesculus attached the following image:  [30.58Kb] |

Empis tessellata, omnipresent these days it seems.
