Ughh, strange stuff with this post (and with some of the previous), just couldn't attach the picture regardless of file size/file quality/thread subject changes... Here's the head. Dmitry Gavryushin attached the following image:  [88.34Kb] |

Muscidae (!). This is Schoenomyza litorella, one of the smallest muscids in Europe. The head pattern of the male is very characteristic, females are less boldly coloured with a grey rather than orange face. It is very common along various shore lines, on sand and on muddy stores with vegetation.

Thanks a lot for your very informative comment Kahis. It was really thick vegetation near the Nara river's branch, a place with rich turf-like soil recently flooded by water. Did I get it right when I excluded Ephydridae seeing (at least in my opinion) dorsal preapical setae on tibia? Edited by Dmitry Gavryushin on 04-06-2006 22:00 |

Muscidae (!). This is Schoenomyza litorella That came to my mind later when I was in bed, but I have not been online since. The honour is all yours.
