 Looks like a Philygria female, possibly a dark northern form of vittipennis, but I'd rather see a specimen to be sure.

 Better with a sound recording and NO video I think Tony... is the world really ready for...... awkward

I have managed to capture some Chloropidae with the old Thomason Yoghurt Pot and Lid System© So I'm sure should I bump into this little fly again I can manage to catch it.

Regards

Roger ...Smarter than your average fly [allegedly] Cool TumbsUp

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
