I know it is a difficult family, but hope is the last thing we lose.  Sunbathing on a wall. Andre Burgers attached the following image:  [188.34Kb] Edited by Andre Burgers on 17-01-2015 19:41 errare humanum est sed perseverare diabolicum |

With a plumose arista, it might belong to a genus beginning with 'H'. |

John, Now I have a problem: both Hylemya and Hydrophoria have plumose aristae and begin with an 'H'.

John is right with his ‘H’ possibilities, but I must say…there are more species within other genera with relative long haired arista. Looking at the general appearance, I don’t think it is Hydrophoria, because the calypters seems not strong yellowish and the fly seems a bit small. The occiput looks bare beneeth the postoculars and with yellowish tibia, it could be Hylemya vagans……but there seems to be setulae on vein C on dorsal site…..what H. vagans should not have. Maybe an enlargement of vein C to see if I am right …or not! For John; you are right about the haired notopleuron in Eutrichota, the Eutrichota humeralis species group indeed has!

Hmmm...it looks indeed haired ! I presume you don't have other photos of the same fly. Difficult to say what other species it could be, I have to think about it.... Johanna |

Goedemorgen Johanna, No, I have no other photos. But genus level is more than I wished for, so don't "lose" more time with it. Thanks again!!
