Hello,

Also yesterday I found this fly, maybe it's possible to give it a name?

Second picture (not so good, but maybe it helps with the identification of this fly?)

Chalk-up another record for Thelaira nigrina :D

The large eyes, long thin legs, and slightly elongated orange-sided abdomen all say "Thelaira" while in this case the abdomen is very dark and the mid tibia has 2 or less strong bristles, suggesting nigrina.

@Paul or Theo:
This species is not known on www.nederlandsesoorten.nl
Is that right, or is the name different in the Netherlands?
I can only find 3 Thelaira species.
