Looks like Dolichopodidae from where I'm sitting. And no I'm not in the pub...:D.

Dear dudes,

This is not a dolichopodid species I know of, so I don't think it belongs in this wonderful family.

Cheers,

DUDES???? I ain't no dude, dude. :D
One didn't realise you Dolichopodid guys were so hip to the groove bro', innit.
Or maybe it's a typo...maybe meant duds?

Odd that this thread has had 129 views and nobody picked up on this gaffe of mine...normally get sh*t on from a great height if wrong.

Anyone going to put their head above the parapet on this one....just curious as I thought it might have been H.oceanus, but apparently it isn't even a Doli...:|

Hi Marcc & Roger
Well, I�m rather curious too so If not a Dolicopodid then which fly can it be then??

pity I did not got more pictures :@

Weird, the legs are bristly (too bristly for Ephydridae), the vein M1+2 has a characteristic inflection like Dolicho have, antennal shape is also characteristic...
It is a Dolichopodidae in my opinion.

As for me, the wing belongs to a female of Thinophilus flavipalpis (Zetterstedt,1843). The other parts of the body may certainly belong to another family:)

Based on wing venation I would have said Dolichopodidae, too, but when someone like Marc says it isn't well, what's the world then coming to...

:D I promise not to gloat....for too long. :P

Uber Dude

Edit; I think I may have to go into hospital to have an operation to remove the smile on my face....It's starting to hurt now. :D Ouch.

Look on the bright side Marc, you've been "introduced" to a new member of this "wonderful family". Hot-foot to Denmark.

Would you mind if I asked you to lay some flowers on this stone from me, with a card saying;
"From Uber-dude", and saying a few kind words as a marc of respect....:|.....INNIT.

Thank you
