 Good morning,
Pictured these flies on a beach in Vigo (NW Spain) during November 2020.
Found them on shells and seaweeds very close to the line of water.
Any chance to have an identification.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Rafael.

 Helcomyza - probably ustulata as Vigo is on the Atlantic coast, but it would be as well to check genitalia to be sure it's not mediterranea. Nice photos!

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.
