Hi, this little (~3 mm) black one landed on my hand 20190722 in the garden, close to a deciduous wood with old oaks, beeches and more. I only had time for one short video before it flew away. Can it be Aulacigaster leucopeza? Thanks in advance for your comments! Greetings, Eric Edited by eklans on 09-12-2019 12:55 |

No Aulacigaster, I think. Cephalic and thoracic setae underdeveloped, antennae dark... I would rather say Ephydridae. |

Athyroglossa glabra (Ephydridae) could fit but in the gallery it looks less slender with shorter legs. |

If it helps, I had an Aulacigaster leucopeza this year; my first. Tony Irwin identified it at http://www.dipter...t7228.html The stripy eyes seem to be the most obvious feature. |

Hi Darwyn, and thanks a lot - you are right, the stripy eyes are the obvious feature as are the prominent bristles. Unfortunately my fly was saved from a watering place and very wet and the video was short and not clear enough to show the eyes or bristles better. I think I have to wait to see one again next year!

It could be Athyroglossa glabra. Tadek |
