Hello, for this Ephydridae, I think about
Scatella paludum , but the opinions I've asked for are not unanimous (
Philotelma is suggested, especially because the arista can appear plumose, even if it remains barely visible in the photo).
For my part I rely on habitus, wing pattern (pale spots), dorsocentral and acrostichal setae, colour of body and legs.
What do you think ?
I specify that the photo was taken near an unvegetated pond (Arc-et-Senans, France, april 27, 2024).
Best regards
