Can someone steer me in the right direction with this Sciomyzidae?

From central lowland France (la Brenne), 1 September 2008, swept from grass in a field grazed by cattle, 5.5mm. It is presumably male.

Male Limnia sp. With the genitalia (postgonite), we will able to say whether it's L. unguicornis or L. paludicola.

OK, thanks Stéphane. I will see how many males I have and if I can spare a couple to pull apart, will have a go at some stage. My guess is that it will be unguicornis.
