Looks like a Philygria female, possibly a dark northern form of vittipennis, but I'd rather see a specimen to be sure.

And if someone could make a you tube video of the technique, perhaps without the sound! ...

Better with a sound recording and NO video I think Tony... is the world really ready for......  I have managed to capture some Chloropidae with the old Thomason Yoghurt Pot and Lid System© So I'm sure should I bump into this little fly again I can manage to catch it. Regards Roger ...Smarter than your average fly [allegedly]  |
