Dear Roger,

It's not the quality of the pictures that causes "sp." pop up once more, but the mere gender of this specimen, which is feminine (and that's usually bad news in dolichopodidid flies).

Well, my best guess (after considering all necessary characters) would be Syntormon pallipes assuming that the fore coxa is partly or mainly pale, the tarsi dark from the apex of the metatarsus onwards, and the hind tibia entirely yellow).

Cheers,
Marc

S.pallipes is the only Syntormon sp. recorded up here previously, your best guess is good enough for me.
I'd forgotten about this post, must have been in a bad mood the day that last message was posted...Frown Grin

Regards Roger....in a better mood, thankfully.
