No. It is Solieria pacifica, well known from the river district and Limburg. Dinera grisescens is indeed pretty similar in habitus. Theo |

I always have trouble in the field with Dinera grisescens vs Solieria sp. ... they have very similar colouring and dusting and they even have 2 pairs of scutellar bristles (an odd feature in its own right). If you can see a central facial ridge and/or plumose arista then it would indicate the Dinera but if you can't see either then it is difficult
