 Spotted this fly in my garden in Cape Town, South Africa, today. Size approx 6mm. I would like to confirm the family and progress ID if at all possible. Unfortunately only one picture before flight.

Thank You

Philip

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.
