Yesterday I posted a rather bad photograph of what was probably a Voria fly, possibly Voria ruralis, taken at Leerdam, Netherlands. Today I was able to take a better picture of, most probably, the same species. Could anyone help me to identify it? Thanks in advance!

It certainly looks like a Voria - it has m-cu at about 45-degrees and a downcurved bristle on the parafacial. I can't see the hairs on the wing veins though so it's hard to be sure - it could be Athrycia. |

Hi Jan and Chris There are no discal setae, this excludes Athrycia. Moreover, there seems to be only 1 strong parafacial bristle. So, Voria ruralis sounds good to me. Thanks for the nice picture Theo Zeegers |
