 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
Brian V.

 Given the habitat its almost certainly a Sciapus platypterus female.

Pipunculidae from Mongolia! I am looking for specialist who is committed to ID these. There will be a lot of material coming from my expeditions.

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.
