Denmark - Funen - 2008 August 9

I think it must be Phasia pusilla or Phasia barbifrons?

This seems to pusilla.

If you have any clearer images showing the halteres it would help :)

I found it on the same locality yesterday and caught two. Here you can see the halteres are black, so pusilla is right :)

The frontal bristles are more reliable than the colouration of the halteres. Anyway, it is pusilla by all features.
