Hi.

10. march 2018 I found this fly in a nemoral deciduous forest, in the southwest of Norway - Gjesdal, Rogaland. It was just a few degrees and the fly came up from the moss - did not fly at all. I took some pictures and it jumped back in the moss.

I tried a forum in Norway and got the suggestion tkat it could be H.atricornis.
Then I found a link in a thread at Diptera.info to a key that show facial drawings of male Heteromyca.

Last page...

Comparing my picture I think that it looks more like Heteromyca commixta.

I would aprciate any comments :-)
