 Hi,

I would like to identify this small fly photographed on the edge of a pond, 20km West of Paris.
Length about 5-6mm.

Any idea of its identity?

Thanks,
FRV

Possibly. I thought so based on the shape of the face, but I don't see any leg modifications.

 You are right, I cannot see the leg modifications either. So let's maintain Sympycninae.

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
