 Assume this is a scuttle fly (Phoridae) ?- not seen a pale coloured one before.
Taken yesterday South coast UK about 3.2mm body length

 Phorid alright. Many are dark but there are numerous paler ones as well.

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
