3.5mm Clitheroe Lancashire 8 Feb. 2011

The specimen looks similar to the one at http://www.dipter...d_id=30891, but a little smaller. It has the appendix on R2+3 (with similar slight darkening) and no strong bristle on coxa 2. The bristles on the head seem reduced (maybe broken?) on this one. Does it look right?

EDIT: this one appears to be a male.

Looks OK (if a little beat up) to me.
