I found some small slim orange flies on some toadstools growing from a rotting log. Reminded me of Psilidae, but a close look at the photos shows a row of bristles on the leading edges of the wings, so maybe Heleomyzidae…? and Suillia bicolor looks a good match, but I may well be wide of the mark. Please advise! c 8mm 10.10.2104 Wickwar, Gloucesterhire in an ancient woodland. nick upton attached the following image:  [121.09Kb] Edited by nick upton on 11-10-2014 13:21 Nick Upton - naturalist and photographer |

Hi Nick, actually that looks like the clear-winged Suillia I saw the other day but didn't collect, and I've been looking for it again. I suppose you'd have to key it Jeremy |

the one with the black antennae and humeral bristle is a S. atricornis

Many thanks Ruud. Both flies were on the same toadstool, but yes the second one has darker antennae. Many thanks for the ID.
