Yesterday. Bujaruelo valley, Pyrenees, NE Spain. Alpine-atlantic climate. 1100-1200 meters. This Empis is bigger (tessellata-size) and darker and with more elongated abdomen that the last feather-legged one that I've posted here. Maybe is the true E. pennipes? This is the only shot (it flied far soon).  Could it be identified? Thanks. Isidro |

With the size given and the fact that at some places the pennation that should be present in pennipes appears to be absent (though difficult to be certain in this view) it should be another species. Perhaps a species related to Empis ciliata, but this specimen has more pennation on the legs than is present in ciliata.
