Could this Brachyopa with body 5-6 mm be a dorsata? On Anemone nemorosa with Populus and Betula close.

Photo from Norasundet, Ångermanland, Sweden 62.53N 17.45 E 22 may 2010

Thanks for your help in advance

Regards

Arista seems to be long pilose, so dorsata or related is out of the question. It should be Brachyopa testacea or B. obscura, and I think it's a quite fresh specimen of the first.

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
