hi, juergen peters from insektenfotos.de determined the attached fly as an Elachiptera brevipennis, but with the caveat that the wings may be yet not unfolded, in which case it would be a different Elachiptera species; so i thought i'll hand it over to you guys for a second look :) the fly from a low brick wall in cologne, germany was at most 2mm long i'd say. good to have found this site, i have loads of undetermined diptere pictures on my drive, as i find most dipteres really hard to identify. cheers! s. sarefo attached the following image:  [36.88Kb] Edited by sarefo on 18-06-2009 23:27 |

Hi! I can't help but make things even more unclear: I think it resembles also Stiphrosoma sabulosum, an Anthomyzid which can have this short wings, or no wings at all. I don't know if that can have a big ocellar trinagle like this, but antenna seems different from Chloropidae to me... We are waiting for Your undetermined photos  |

oh great ;) i think i'll keep all pictures to myself and give them fantasy names, just to keep a sane mind ;) i'll "unload" some of it here soon, first combing through the past years for some low-hanging fruits (!= diptera ;) though. cheers! s. ps: i checked pictures of both species: while S. sabulosum looks more similar to my picture in many respects (color/form of head/back), this picture of E. brevipennis has in my opinion very similar antennae to "my" fly: http://www.diptera.info/photogallery.php?photo_id=2900 Edited by sarefo on 16-06-2009 00:21 |

If You would upload it to gallery, we would have a photo of a macropterous (normal-winged) and a brachypterous (short-winged) specimen also |
