Hi, I only got one shot of this, it was small maybe 3-4mm. 4th July, my garden near Lincoln UK. Janet blowave attached the following image:  [84.39Kb] Edited by blowave on 30-08-2011 12:53 http://cubits.org... |

I just searched the site and found the ocelli are surrounded by a dark plate, which this has! I found a thread with a fly which looks much like this.. http://diptera.in...post_88385 http://cubits.org... |

I found a Gymnochiromyia sp. which looks very similar... http://www.pbase..../135671284 It appears that Gymnochiromyia has only 4 bristles on the scutellum, mine looks to have more. It does look to have anterior incurved orbital bristles though. http://bugguide.n...02/bgimage Edited by blowave on 30-08-2011 13:03 http://cubits.org... |
