 Sorry for the bad pictures, but can anyone help me with the determination of this fly? I think it's an ephydrid, but I'm far from sure. The fly was found in the Netherlands. 1,8 mm long. Thanks.

 Sphaeroceridae, Limosiinae. If you pop it into the mail to me at the Natuurhistorisch Museum Maastricht I can identify it further.

 Spelobia (s.str.) cf. clunipes. I would need to prepare the abdomen to see syntergite 1+2 better and to examine the spermathecae to be certain.

More precise locality data are desirable. Wink

 Locality: Exactly here: http://waarneming.nl/waarneming/view/46323760
I saw the fly when lifting up a little mossy stone. Near the sea. Just one specimen.
