Hello,

When you see conspicuously hairy eyes and long pedicel, consider Ernestiini or whatever you call that group in Europe. (There are exceptions; it's a guideline rather than a rule.)

A Linnaemyia (note the long appendix to bend in vein M).

Hello John and Theo,

thank you one more time!

I have taken many photos (at least some of them better than this one) last year of what I think was Linnaemyia. I will post some of them once in a while.


Edit: Fauna Europaea and Entomofauna germanica say Linnaemya (without the 'i') <sigh...>
