Looks like a Linnaemya to me

Thanks Chris. I see there is only one photo in the gallery, and not showing much detail. Perhaps I should submitt it as Linnaemyia sp, unless you or Theo can go further ? Philippe A beautiful hypothesis can be slain by an ugly fact. |

I don't think so, thanks ... it's a nice photo but the reason there are only a few photos of the dark species is that they just can't be identified reliably without specimen+microscope. We have a few photos of L.tessellans and a few "sp." and that's probably enough for now, unless we can get something identified to species, which is unlikely unless the photographer catches the same fly and identified it
