 I think this pretty metallic hover is Orthonevra nobilis, but Ripponensia splendens looks quite similar. Can anyone confirm which this is (or maybe soemething else altogether...) ?

2.5.11 c.6mm Wiltshire garden (some ponds nearby) UK.

 It is safe to say that this is O. nobilis indeed.
Btw: Riponnensia is written like this <

 Many thanks for confirming my ID Andre. It's great to get expert back-up when I encounter species new to me! And thanks for correcting my spelling of Riponennsia!

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
