Can't get anywhere with this one - it was distant and sat in a tree, so poor photos. 2/8/2009; Devon, England Thanks Tim tim worfolk attached the following image:  [132.61Kb] Edited by tim worfolk on 02-08-2009 16:51 |

Looks nearly a Muscid, which would suggest Macquartia. Hairs on occiput seem all black, apical scutellar bristles ?, only 3 post DC, all of this consistent with Macquartia. Still, I'd love to see the head in profile to be more confident. Theo |

Time to get out the really bad photos... these may not help, but they're the only ones I got showing the face at all, as I said it was distant. Tim tim worfolk attached the following image:  [111.76Kb] |

Well, it convinces me of Macquartia. Species ? Possibly dispar. Theo |

Thanks Theo, that's the second Macquartia probably dispar at the site - still not seen the male. Tim |
