 Yes definitey Platypezidae (Flat-footed fly) The enlarged tarsal segments give it away! I think its a Platypezinae also. Can't see hind tarsomeres for genus determination.

I have just received the very sad news that Peter Chandler has died after a fall at home yesterday. I have no other details at the moment. We shall miss him terribly.

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’?
