 Taken feeding on Daucus carota in the outskirts of San Sebastian on July the 29th. At first thought that it might be Phasia barbifrons but I think now that it should be Phasia pusilla or one of the related species, which makes things much more difficult Wink Any suggestion or opinion will be most welcome Smile

And there are more pictures if necessary Wink

 Halteres seem to be yellow (which makes me think of barbifrons).

 I would say that it is a Phasia obesa (female), from the dusted thorax, yellow halteres, pale hairs on the gena and the small size Smile

 I had my doubts, but the shape of the ovipostor seems to support this view.

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
