Can anyone say if this small, slim orange fly is an Anthomyzid? Anthomyza sp? - or something else altogether?!
c 5mm Wiltshire 11.6.10

Hi, Nick!
Psila sp. (Psilidae). Can't tell the species, did ask it myself some hours ago:

Many thanks Phil and Juergen for the quick help. It's a new family to me... Juergen's fly looks very like mine, must be their time of year..

Hi Mark, many thanks for keying this out, will run it through as well, but am sure I'll reach the same conclusion and it matches this image well: http://www.eol.org/pages/747866?text_id=6372592
