 The mouthparts look wrong for Iteaphila and the fly overall more resembles Rhamphomyia.

The Nearctic and European Empididae are similar. Try the illustrated Nearctic guide at https://cjai.biol...es/sbc-48/.

 Thanks! Rhamphomyia seems to be a better choice!

 Rhamphomyia erytrophthalma, one of the two autumnal species of Rhampomyia in NW Europe.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
