I think this fly must be Trixa conspersa? It was photgraphed 8 June 2008 in flower rich grassland in the Somme, northern France (actually in an old WWI trench).

Yeah, that looks right - shaded rm, tiny antennae and a quite rounded, fat abdomen  Nice habitat - did you find much else there? |

I wasn't seriously looking - this place is a Canadian war memorial in France, so I didn't feel comfortable collecting. The remains of the trenches, protected from the sheep in ajoining fields, are the most beautiful flowery grassland in early June though. It makes it quite difficult to imagine the scene in 1916.
