Thread subject: Diptera.info :: New Lindneromyia for the Netherlands? (Platypezidae)

Last week I was able to take two pictures of a small fly (3.6 mm) running fastly on a leaf in the garden, Utrecht, Netherlands. The venation was typical and after a long search through pictures (I don't have literature, dragonflies are my thing) I came to the Platypezidae and genus Lindneromyia. Because only one of that genus is known from the Netherlands it should be L. dorsalis. But a Dutch dipterist questioned my identification and indeed it seems to be L.hungarica. Unfortunately I have only these two pictures, no head from the front for example. A difference exists in the width of the frons between the eyes, I can only show the upper part of the head and indeed this seems quite narrow. So please dipterists, have a close look so we can confirm hungaica or not.
