 Hi, photographed this yesterday in the S E of England. We have a couple of variagated Euonymus bushes just coming into flower and I want to record as many of the species that I can that visit it. Could anyone help with the identifications of this diptera please?
This one was about ~7 to 8mm. From the books and photos on web sites I can't really tell, the eyes are quite dark and not particularly red. My other option was Ramonda latifrons? Help anyone.

 Hmm, I'd say it is a muscid ... it certainly isn't Trixa or Ramonda Wink

 Paul is quite right, Morellia aenescens it is. Smile

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
