Hi,
I must apologize for the bad quality of these pictures! It was close to sunset yesterday evening, the fly was tiny - and anyhow I have difficulties to get Empidids into focus (or should I blame the camera?). Nevertheless I hope to get a genus name for this small fat female feeding on milfoil. The sides of the abdomen looked brownish in contrast to the grey thorax.
Many thanks, Sundew

Obviously this is the best that can be said basing on these bad pics... Thanks, Alex!
