St Marc's fly (Bibionidae): Dilophus sp. The most common in your region at that time is the fever fly, D. febrilis. Though the picture is very nice, the essential details for species identification are not visible.

Many thanks Paul, I know the angle is not good for showing wing detail. There are a few other images on my www link which are only tentative IDs so any help with these also very useful.

Best wishes
Tristan

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
