 As a first step of this fly ID I send my guess (guess only);
Ephydridae?, Notiphila??

 Hi Pierre - Looks like Hydrellia at first glance. Have you got any more shots? - the head troubles me a bit.

 Ephydridae but not Hydrellia. Can't quite place it. It looks quite characteristic, but....

Well, it was a spring species for me. It can remain as a Ephydridae.

Thanks anyway.

 Thanks for the extra photo, Pierre. I agree with Kahis - not Hydrellia. I suspect it is Ditrichophora.

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
