this fly won't go through the Opomyzidae key as it has a well-developed alula and plumose arista. Perhaps Suillia then, but the wings are very dark? Suillia variegata, perhaps? now there's a problem with S. variegata as there are humeral (postpronotal?) setae present!!  any suggestions?

it is S. variegata for sure. No humeral bristle.

Many thanks indeed. So 'seta' in this context means bristle then, rather than just 'hairs'?  Jeremy |
