And here's another diptera from the undergrowth of an oak wood in Cornwall, England.

I have been trying to place it at least in a family, but I'm afraid I'm going to make a terrible fool of myself Sad. Could it be a Helomyzidae? Sarah

I would look for this species in the family Scatophagidae. I think it is a member of the genus Scatophaga, but now I may be making a fool of myself Wink

The only reason I can think why you might be making a fool of your self is by spelling Scathophaga in the wrong way. Pfft It could well be S. stercoraria.

Well, Sarah's Scatophaga stercoraria is my question too. It seems to me that there is a difference between fly which I met in spring and now. It seems to me that they become less hairy, more yellow-greenish than yellow-redish, and wing venation became more dark, almost black. Am I right please?
