Hello! This 6-7 mm fly rested at the wall of our house last night. I have never seen something like this. The closest resemblance I can find, is Heleomyzidae (Eccoptomera?). Could that be true? Thanks!

Hello! I should have read the other threads before... Looks rather similar to (but darker) Robert's fly here: http://www.dipter...d_id=12150. So Oecothea, too?

hi Juergen, Looking at de diptera.info-gallery, Oecothea fenestralis got a strong dark wingmark. So my choice is Oecothea praecox.., but I don't have any experience with these. Let's wait for a specialist.. EDIT: Phil was a bit faster reacting

It is difficult to see some of the critical features (such as whether the hind femur has a dorsal preapical) but I would place it near Eccoptomera microps |
