Bosham, West sussex. In an ex-hedgerow seperating a wheatfield and a saltmarsh. 11 August 2011. Smallish... at most 6-8mm (it was a long time ago and I'm not really sure). I think Tephritidae looks right, so it's probably something else. Will van Niekerk attached the following image:  [165.78Kb] Edited by Will van Niekerk on 01-03-2012 23:24 |

The narrow wing base says it's a Geomyza. G. tripunctata is a common species with right wing pattern. |
