Hello,
Here comes a small yellow fly from my garden, seen in June of 2008. I doubt whether it is a Lauxaniid, as it has feathery aristae. This character is met in Drosophilids, but I am not familiar with them. So help is gratefully accepted!

Many thanks, Katka - "
plumicornis" is a perfect species epithet, surely pointing to the peculiar arista.
