Is this little black fly a flat-footed fly... and if so can anyone suggest a genus/species, but no doubt they are tricky form photos. I've not knowingly seen one before, so may well be wrong. 24.8.11 c4mm feeding on flowers near a beach, Samos, Greece. nick upton attached the following image:  [109.37Kb] Edited by nick upton on 27-08-2011 16:45 Nick Upton - naturalist and photographer |

Thanks tristram; looks much more likely and I did thjnk it was probaby a small tachinid when i first saw it, and it was feeding near a Gymnosoma, but hadn't seen this little black one before.
