 Is this 4 mm fly a Orthocladius?
Photos from 6 may 2012 Styrnäs kyrka 62, E 17 Ångermanland, Sweden.

Thanks for your help in advance

 Probably not Orthocladius because the second branch of Cu appears strongly curved. (The ortho- in Orthocladius probably refers to the shape of this vein in the genus.)

The dorsal extension of the eye looks longer than normal in the subfamily.

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 will try to fix the messages this month. We have to make some other configuration changes before software goes out of support at end of year.
