 I found this fly on the beach in the Netherlands yesterday. The fly flew every time just one meter from me away and was easy to follow. Can someone confirm this as Helcomyza ustulata?

 Sorry, not Helcomyza ustulata, but Ceratinostoma ostiorum (Scathophagidae) : look at the very long and strong bristles on fore tibiae and at the long protruding palpi.

I will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.

I would prefer not to receive any more messages from diptera.info signed by Paul... (Thread reply notification)... Could they be signed by ‘The diptera.info team’?
