Hello!

Despite the heavy storm this 3 mm fly came to the light tonight (10 ?C at midnight!) here in Ostwestfalen/Germany. I had a rather but not completely similar one here in November which was identified as Eccoptomera sp. (Heleomyzidae). Could this one be the same genus or is it more likely one of the notorious Sphaeroceridae? Thanks in advance!

Ah..., now I know, what it reminded me of ;-), thanks! I had many Lonchopteridae at the light until November, but none with such a dark body.
Best regards,
Jürgen
