Hello list
This small one (6 mm approx) makes me think of a Heleomyzidae (although the costa is not spiny) but it is only a vague guess.
Yet it is rather conspicuous with the darkened wing tips and the yellow scutellum.
Heron, Belgium, September 18th
Any opinion ?
Thanks for your help
Philippe

If I remeber it's not possible to separate ustulata and andersoni without genital examination. I may be wrong of course :)
