Found sitting on a boulder on the beach ,partaking in a bit of rare spring sunshine. Very unwilling to sit for photo's so I only have 1 shot...tell me it's not an Anthomyiidae  . Even if you have to lie.

Roger - I certainly wouldn't tell you it's Anthomyiidae - looks like Fucellia, though ...

Cheers Tony Fucellia sp. (so far) is better than un-known Anthomyiidae. You never know..might even get to species..that would be a first  . Got 2 on checklist. F.fucorum and F.maritima Edited by Roger Thomason on 21-03-2009 00:40 |

Fucellia fucorum! Black tibiae, maritima and tergina have yellowish tibiae. F. fucorum is commoner on Sccottish coasts than further south. |
