I do not risk to put a family name on this fly.

The second photo shows a large ocellar triangle, so I'll suggest Chloropidae. (I'm going to be so embarrassed if this turns out to be an ephydrid!!  )Edit - Actually, I think it looks more like a small lonchaeid, now. Edited by Tony Irwin on 06-05-2007 20:29 Tony ---------- Tony Irwin |

Actually I considered Ephydridae and Lonchaeidae for this one, but not Chloropidae. Anyone else has an opinion on this one?

The ocellar triangle appears to be enlarged in the second picture. That would fit with over-all impression of Chloropidae.

I think I would go for Lonchaeidae - it looks very much like a Dasiops species - with relativelly small antennal flagellomere, broad frons, silvered parafacials and I think I can just see hairy eyes - basal tarsomeres orange brown are also characteristic as is the wing veination - it is most probably the relatively common D. latifrons (known from Hungary) which featured on this site recently as a photo of a specimen from Portugal
