Hi!

I found this 5-6 mm fly today in the forest (northwest Germany) at 1-2 °C. Perhaps Eccoptomera (cf. obscura?)?

Eccoptomera is OK ! Lateral shot would be expected to see the hind femur and pleural parts ;)

Many thanks, Andrzej! I'm afraid I'm slowly becoming too old to take lateral shots from flies on the ground... ;)
