HI,
photographed this fly in 8 January.
more than 10 exemplary seen in very small flies over the snow, more like some kind of leaps. size around 4-5 mm.
one exemplary collected if something more special needed to be seen.
it is Lotophila atra from Sphaeroceridae?
thanks in advance for your help,
cosmln

Sphaeroceridae yes... BUT not Lotophila atra. For example, the scutum is very bristly. All legs very dark. Not the case for L. atra where in basal tibia has a yellowish hue (less than basal half). Also this seems to have more tomentum on scutum than the L. atra.
Tony Irwin or Paul will help here. ;)
