I can't work this one out. I thought the terminalia would be distinctive but they don't match any pictures I have, nor did I get anywhere with the key. I was assuming it is male but then wondered is it a female with a v. short ovipositor?

Thorax. Postnotum hairy but hairs pale so not Nigrotipula? It was from rushy pasture, nothing special, in Vaynol Park, North Wales, 21 June 2014.

Many thanks for the identification. I did give the location - with the last picture. Could I have your name, please, as you are the determiner? John |
