This doesn't look convincing to me, as Dolichopodidae (not that that says much), but then I read that the single crossvein makes Dolichopodidae most likely... That said, I did read that in Chinery's field guide. And I'm not convinced that his descriptions of fly families are hugely reliable. So I attach (in reply) an image of the wing from underneath as well as the fly itself. Bosham, on nettle?, in ex hedgerow between farmland and saltmarsh. 11 August 2011 Will van Niekerk attached the following image:  [182.65Kb] Edited by Will van Niekerk on 02-03-2012 10:02 |

Diastata, without a key to check against at hand I'd say D. costata.
