Hello dipterofans, I guess this is a difficult one - but would it be possible to ID this tiny Empis? I found Empis levis to be a close match but there are soooo many to choose from in this genus...  Pic taken in Hasselt 27-08-2010. Thanks! Don Micro attached the following image:  [47.21Kb] Kim Windmolders |

Date-wise I would say Empis aestiva but leg chaetotaxy is indeed more reminiscent of levis. Have a better lateral shot or perhaps even the specimen?

Nice try but the tip of the abdomen is just obscured so no joy there. If at all possible with the smaller flies: try to collect them for ID.
