Hello All,
I have used Collin (1961) to determine the Rhamphomyia in the photos. I have concluded that it is R laevipes. Does it look right?

Found at Salix flowers in UK on 14 April.

Here is a close up of the genitalia - note I pulled out the genitalia, so the penis is more exposed than it would be naturally.
