See antennal segment 1, which is of irregular shape, with a deep constriction before tip, which is unique for H. pluvialis. Libor |

crassicornis tends to be earlier in the year - I saw a few individuals here in Southern England during the first week of June but none since. The colouration of crassicornis is a good indication in the field - its more a dark chocolate colour than the olive brown of pluvialis. |

as soon as 'olive' enters the description, your Haematopota is pluvialis. Theo |
