 Would be my first guess. Without seeing microtrichia on wing, difficult to exclude chloropus for sure.

 Thanks! Maybe these pictures can be helpful. A wing from both sides.

 Morten - Yes I agree with O. chloropus - but these Norwegian pics show differences from the specimens I have caught in the last few weeks which have a shiny polished black thoracic disc, scutellum and frons. Perhaps we should swap specimens and do a comparison .... Iain .

 Thank you so much!
Iain: .... or I can send this along with the other flies I will send at the end of the season.

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
