I found this nice fly on a Poplar trunk today in Amstelveen. Second Rinophoridae in a week! I love the way M1 bends upward, to create the mother of all stalked top cells!!

I based ID on photo's in gallery, so confirmation more than welcome.

@Theo: Another strange find in Amstelveen, or business as usual?

And not peculiar: Melanophora is fond of (older) buildings
