 That very bristled abdomen reminds me of Megaselia rufipes. I don't think that any other common British phorids have it.

 Thanks Tony for the initial ID, and Brian for confirming. There are no Phoridae on the Shetland Checklist, so another unrecorded one to add to the list. Smile.

Regards Roger

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
