Can anyone help with ID for this one, please.
I've got as far as similarities to Chlorops strigulus, but I'm not sure that is correct or who this might be.
This was found a few days ago in Berkshire, UK. It was in a boggy field on tall grasses, close to deciduous woodland.

Hi Jonathan
I don't think so, and I think it is
C. cf
anthracophagoideus...!
But about species I'm not sure, because for ID
Chlorops need to have samples in the hand and it's difficult by picture.. :)

Thank you Sara. However, I cannot find any mention of Chlorops anthracophagoideas, is that spelling correct?

Sorry Jonathan, the correct spell is
anthracophagoideus
but that was just a guess by a picture and you should be sure about that.. :)

Chlorops ?frontosus Meigen, 1830, Chloropidae. I correct my post of 05-06-2011 after I checked:
http://www.diptera.info/forum/viewthread.php?forum_id=5&thread_id=52911 ; base of arista is yellowish.
