Is
Zaphne divisa a possibility? 5mm, female, rather shiny, arista plumose, sitting on
Iris pseudacorus at the edge of a small pond in an east London inner city park, 29 September 2007.

Hi Susan, search for "Zaphne" lead me to this your post.
I'd say it isn't Zaphne, neither Anthomyiidae, - Muscida,
Hebecnema(my recent problems with Hebecnema ID having material under microscop, make my shiny with species level ID in this case).

I agree with Nikita, it's not Z. divisa, the antennae are too long and the parafacials are wider in divisa. It's not an anthomyiid.

OK guys, many thanks. Hebecnema didn't occur to me because I thought they would have darker wings. Shiny black is right though.
