Many thanks, Paul - but I was as clever... D. febrilis is the only species I know well! So it will regrettably remain Dilophus spec.

The snout is very short, so it should be humeralis.

Great find

Theo, again you saved the situation - many thanks! "Great finds" can easily be made - one just has to take a photo of every small critter one comes across...
I'll submit a pic to the gallery. Regards, Sundew
