Drenthe again...I found these at several places on woodland edges. Browsing through the gallery, I found Gastrolepta anthracina as best match. Is it indeed this species?

Are you sure it is the same specimen ?

The first one looks like Gastrolepta, the second one MEdina

I'm sure they are different specimens! But I - wrongly - assumed same species because overall impression is so similar: long legs, wing venation. I assume they are closely related?

btw, is 'looks like' reasonably certain?

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
