 Not sure if further ID is possible. Small dolichopid fly taken yesterday on leaves above a small pond - about 5mm body length - South coast UK. Not sure if the pale colour is normal or if it has recently emerged.

Thanks

 Given the habitat its almost certainly a Sciapus platypterus female.

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’?
