There seem to be a large number of these flies about at present, too - these are very small (5 mm). Some clues regarding ID would be most welcome.

I think it belongs in superfamily Empidoidea. For both flies posted today, a dorsal closeup showing wing veins would help.

Could be Brachystomatidae as this reminds me very much of Trichopeza. But, yes, a dorsal view would be helpful.

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
