Looks like a Eurithia sp. to me - protruding mouth edge, densely-hairy eyes, dark basicosta  How large was it?

Yes, that would fit OK - they are usually about 10mm

Today I recovered this fly behind a dresser (don't ask  )Having looked at it under my microscope and following Belshaw's key I end up on Eurithia vivida. Anyway, does anyone see any obvious reasons why this could not be?

I don't see vivida very often (it is one of the more unusual ones) but it is certainly a Eurithia

vivida should have yellow palpi, for starters. This feature is invisible in the current pictures. Vivida is not uncommon in more northern areas and higher in the mountains. Theo |

Well, the apical parts of the palpi are lost so I will never know, I have more pics but none that really show them as yellow, more brown which guides me in a different direction. The basal parts are black. I am now leaning thowards E. caesia even though my fly only has 3 post sutural bristles, lights on my microscope died so the fun is over for tonight. For the reecord it has grey markings on t5, wrt E. anthophila. Thank you Theo and Chirs for taking the time

Genitalia, female included, are very distinctive in Eurithia. So with a specimen, I'd probably be able to help you out. Theo |
