Really curious where to put this specimen. Mid June at light trap near a pond, Vienna.

My Diptera observations (and other living forms) can be found here, and corrections or comments over there would also be appreciated.

Hi John,
I am now pretty sure that it is a Dixella. It was a pond, and Dixa should occur at streams. I fear with external morphology I won't reach species ID. Anyways, here are some more photos

The first flagellomere appears cylindrical (not slightly swollen) so it should be Dixella.

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
