It looks darker than my previous photos but it had just come out of the freezer and so was probably a bit damp when I photgraphed it.

Very nice indeed - if we can meet up then I can key it properly and confirm that for you ... I am in Tilehurst so it should be easy to sort out Wink

Just a follow-up to say that I met-up with tristram yesterday and the specimen is a very nice male Linnaemya picta - the male genitalia are very distinctive Smile

That extends the range of this species a lot further west of all previous records Smile

Thank you, Chris. I feel relieved to have it confirmed. It's been over a year since my first photo and it would have been a quite a let-down if it had turned out to be L. tesselans after all.

Today I was over at Chazey Wood, which is roughly half-way between here and your haunt at Hartslock Nature Reserve. I saw nothing that looked anything like a Linnaemya, neither picta nor tessselans, even though I spent 3 or 4 hours searching.

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
