Hi,
Can any kind of ID be made out of these rather dark images?
The fly was no more than 5mm long (probably a little less).
15 June on a wooden railing surrounding a pond (Helsingborg, Sweden).
Thanks!

I agree with Susan! Change the title to Ephydridae to attract the attention of the specialists.

I know several palaeartctic species which have black tibiae: uliginosa, aquatica, brunipes, major and lyra, tha latter is on the Far East only.
uliginoda has black palpi, here we can see yellowish. Eye-to-cheek index is rather high (not aquatica) but not 2:1 as in major. So the only species left is Notiphila brunipes, but usually it has silvery-white face, rarely - a little yellowish, here it seems too yellowish, but possilbe it is some photo-effect.

Thanks for help and interesting info. I think the yellowish colour is caused by me lighten a dark photo. That usually creates an increase in yellow.
