I think it might be nigricans but do you have any other shots?

Good enough. This would have clinched it for many NW-European dipterist because now you can see the broadened wings of the female and the fact they are completely darkened.

Paul, Igor, thank you else once. I'm really not a dipterist, you see. So it is Empis borealis, I'll remember.

In the future: If you have got a good image (or many) from one angle and perhaps some not so good from another, still include one or more from the other angles. It can be very helpful in identification and no-one will think the worse of you. Wink

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
