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.dentipesSmile, but i think it is not...but I can't find another Hydrotaea that fits
The 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...Shock

I'd check H.armipes. In this case eyes short hairy - check it under dark ground.
