 UK, Suffolk, mixed vegetation on sandy soil. 1st June. Size 4mm approx.

Might this be Bessa? With discals on tergites 3 and 4, it would then be Bessa selecta

 It's something I see rarely so it would always be better to key it through - but it does look like a Bessa ... small, wide frons ... otherwise fairly anonymous! Wink

Some flies preserved in ethanol and then pinned often get the eyes sunken, how can this be avoided? Best answer: I usually keep alcohol-collected material in alcohol

Yes, dipterologists from far abroad, please buy your copy at veldshop. Stamps will be expensive, but he, the book is unreasonably cheap Smile
