Not very good at separating flies into these groups. This one found in Somerset in numbers swarming around Hawthorn. Tried keying out in all 3 groups without success. Wondering if someone could help out? Closest I can get to match so far is Rhamphomyia. Thanks

Hi,
This is Microphor sp. of "Microphoridae", now Dolichopodidae.

Best wishes,
