But as we all know I am more often wrong than not with flies. Pretty good at birds though. Wetland Kerkini, Greece 11 October 2009.

Gordon, your description of yourself could just as well be a description of me :)

However, this I think is a Muscidae and a Lispe sp.

Correct, Lars.
Female L. assimilis Wied.

Thanks Nikita,
Ah well there you go, strangely that was my guess (well genera anyway) with the naked eye, but I changed once I had a good look at the photo. Another new record for Wetland Kerkini - The diptera list is now on 1671 - 1000+ more than any other order, but the Hyms may catch up a bit next week. Cols are hopeless.

Well actually I was looking at an old file so it was way out of date - try - 1,716 to date.
