This is a Muscid. Maybe Hydrotaea sp, male.

Hydrotaea dentipes-group is an appealing idea...

Thanks Gabor, Kahis and Stephane for the input. H.dentipes looks about right to me, and is on my checklist. Maybe Nikita will have a look at it, as he seems to be the Dogs Bo****ks on these, going by the Gallery. Not that I doubt your judgement guys. I'm sure this little fly will be proud of his new Latin name whatever it turns out to be.

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
