Hi and happy Christmas to you all, I'm confused by this one, looking a bit like Meiosimyza decempunctata but with the wrong colouring. Catched early November on Salix in Lund, Sweden. It's in the freeze so I can take more pictures or if you can guide me to an online key. Patrik, Lund almaviva attached the following image: [230.89Kb] |

According to sparse visible hints, I would say: Opomyza |

Thanks again, I found the key in Brit Journal of Entomology and Natural History (1993). It should be Opomyza florum, though it is slightly strange that the thorax is not yellowish.

Color of Opomyza florum is rather variable. I would also say O. florum (female).
