Found in a gravel path in my garden this afternoon. Size approx 5-7mm ish. Wing colouring doesn't seem to match the photo's of the two species in the Gallery, S.fenestralis and S.punctatus which are both on my checklist....so what is this one?

You would appear to be mixing me up with somebody else. IE. The whole point of the site is that idiots like me (Dipterologically speaking, of course) point cameras at flies or whatever and send the resulting photo (sometimes in focus) to people who know what they are talking about..Dipterists. Result...they get to show their knowledge and I/we get to know the name of the subject. Happiness abounds.

Wouldn't you just know it...I give a glowing report on the Dipterists on this site (The real ones), then don't get a reply to one of the better sets of nearly in focus photo's I send in. Well it's my birthday today (58 going on 12) and getting a name for this little fly would suffice as a present . That's another year gone down the pan  .Regards Roger...a year older and a smidgen wiser. Edited by Roger Thomason on 21-04-2009 03:21 |

Can't tell. Partly because I cannot be certain whether it is male or female, and even with that there would be at least two possibe species.

GRUMP...ME...shurly shome mishtake. And less of the OLD. 58 is just a number...as is 140...which is the amount of days you are older than me. Cheerfully, but pedantically Roger |
