Can this fly be identified...?
Pictures are made 20-6-2009 in Zeist, Holland

Any more angles? It looks a bit too anonymous for me.

Eyes are bare and scutellum is black, then could be a Lydella sp. In that case apical bristles should be upright, but I cannot see them.

Difficult to say.
It seems the apical scutellar bristles are genuinely lacking.
That would make some Blondeliini quite possible, such as Blondelia nigripes ??

Chris and Erikas, I'm sorry, I have only this position.
If you could tell me where these apical bristles must be, I may look better on the pictures I have, but I fear that they are all the same. Thanks for trying!
As I wrote this note I found Theo's answer, so I wait for more advice..?
Regards,
Hedy

I agree with Theo, Lydella usually has four post-DC, and the specimen has ony three.
