This little brown fly is very common, but noone can tell me what it is. Is it a young fly? Thanks, Andr?  |

Actually, the fly is quite 'mature'. Younf specimens in this group are generally more pale than the depicted specimen. It is a member of the Lauxaniidae. I will look into a more precise identification (if someone does not beat me to it, that is).

Hi, I would say Tricholauxania praeusta, but confirmation by Paul would be good. Jan Willem |

Weird how I never saw this fly until I caught one by chance after a few years of collecting diptera. But once I knew how to identify the species, it suddenly seems quite common in broadleaved forests.  |
