Location: Near Stockholm, Sweden Date: 2007-JUN-24 Habitat: Park. I think it is a Geomyza sp (Opomyzidae). I only got shots from this angle. Is possible to get to species level?

No, not a lauxaniid. This is a species of Palloptera (Pallopteridae).

Might this be Palloptera quinquemaculata?

Do you have other pictures of this fly? Preferably one where you can see the head from the side. Palloptera quinquemaculata (or Toxoneura quinquemaculata if you like) should have a rather high jowl. So the space below the eye should be relatively wide. The females of P. quinquemaculata can be recognized by the broad ovipositor. Jan Willem |

Thanks for the input. I only managed to get two almost identical photos from behind before it flew away ... This often happens to me  |

It's a pity you have no other pictures, but still I think that Paul is right. I also think it is Palloptera quinquemaculata. Since we are not sure, I would call it Palloptera cf. quinquemaculata .Jan Willem |

What would be the alternative species and where does that one occur?

Uh........, near Stockholm there is no alternative species so Paul must be right, Palloptera quinquemaculata (Macquart, 1835). Jan Willem |
