 Today I found this fly (c.8 mm) in heathland hibernating in young pines. Can someone give an ID for it?

Thanks,
André den Ouden

 Sorry Nikita, this fly doesn't belong to the Heleomyzidae. This is a member of the Pallopteridae: Palloptera scutellata. I have to admit that id does look rather heleomyzid-like.

This fly is associated with Juncus (mostly Juncus effusus I think). Interesting André that you found it hibernating in young pines.

 Thanks everybody! I found this fly by the Hatertse Vennen near Nijmegen in the Netherlands. At 21 jan.of this year I found the same fly on about 2 km. distance. It is hibernating on the same places as Sympecma fusca, a dragonfly.
