Many thanks Paul Beuk
I have been observing these past one week. This is a skittish fly and I have been getting only blurry photos.
Please let me know if image of a particular part or a certain view would help in ID.
Thanks again.

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

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
