Found on dead bird(18 april 2009 Dwarsgracht Neth.) Little confusing fly... The sice is about 4,3 mm At first i thought an too little H.dentipes  , but i think it is not...but I can't find another Hydrotaea that fitsThe parafacialia and fronto orbital plates are "shining" black at some places. M1 seems not towards r4+5 t3 with 3 av + 1ad + 1pd t2 no ant. setae + 2-3 ant. interfrontals present halteres black 2 katepisternals smal pre-alar A little help needed...

On the feather of dead bird?  Small, spring, shining parafrontalia, t2 without ad... I'd check H.armipes. In this case eyes short hairy - check it under dark ground. Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |
