The tarsi do not have prominent silver patches so not Sciapus platypterus. A few other species have broad wings, some of them with other modifications to tarsi and at least one with plain tarsi. |

It seems that right mid tarsus is broken. But left mid tarsus is complete, though out of focus. It has segments 3-4 white and segment 5 black, the characters distiguishing Sciapus platypterus from close species. Be healthy! Edited by Igor Grichanov on 14-05-2020 11:43 Igor Grichanov |
