6.5 - 7mm, South Lancashire UK, 7 June 2009

I found these images while labelling old photos. The first two are of the same individual, which looks to me like Melanogaster hirtella. The third image was taken one hour later in the same area. Is this also M. hirtella? I wondered also about Orthonevra brevicornis.

Thanks Andre. Do you mean the third picture could be Orthonevra?
