I believe this is a Micropezid but would like confirmation and genus if possible Reduced foreleg, dorsal arista and separation between fore coxa and mid coxa visible Location: Bangalore, India Date: 22-Aug-2010 Behaviour: seen singly at bird dropping, when disturbed flies into vegetation nearby. Waves white tipped foreleg rapidly like some hymenoptera muscicapa attached the following image:  [121.01Kb] |

Should be Micropezidae indeed. No idea about further identity, though.
