 I'd say Fucellia (Anthomyiidae). But I'm no expert.

 Cheers Lars..It's probably F.fucorum which I had ID'd by Tony Irwin to family, and Michael Ackland to species, in a post a couple of weeks ago...and I never noticed it was the same. Short term memory ......Kaput Frown.
Regards Roger.

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
