Is it possible to determine what sort of fly this is? I was only able to get this one photo. Found in London, September. Thanks, Daniel. coopder attached the following image:  [115.82Kb] Edited by coopder on 27-10-2009 18:04 |

Thanks . I wasn't really expecting to get any further than the family from this photo, so Dolichopodidae is good enough for me  . |

Could be a Dolichopus sp.

Dear, It IS a Dolichopus female, so everybody was right. And it's most likely (but not entirely sure) that you are dealing with D. plumipes, considering the partly pale antenna, mainly yellow legs, the hind tibia featuring a black apex, and the entirely black hind metatarsus (and a number of other characters). Cheers, Marc marc.pollet@inbo.be |

Fore basitarsus with apical curved seta, and next segment is distinctly curved. Therefore, it is a male of either Dolichopus festivus Haliday, 1832 (with slightly more angular 3rd segment of antenna) or Dolichopus cilifemoratus Macquart, 1827 (with more rounded one).
