My immediate thought, too: Siphona.

Thanks Dima ... I still can't make up my mind though. It looks a little like Siphona cristata - I can't see median-marginal bristles on T1+2; the vertext seems more orange than the thorax colour; and there seem to be 3 post-sutural dc. But as a genus you won't find many people willing to gibe a 100% identification - even from specimens! |

Thanks Chris. I think we did our best what we could do without examining specimens. |

The pictures are excellent for such a small fly, but it is still a Siphona ! DC are 3+3, as rightly noticed by Chris. the proboscis seems to be short (for a Siphona). The palpi are quite clubbed. My guess would be confusa or variata. Theo Zeegers |
