Hi,

This tiny fly ~4mm (I think!) was feeding on Dandelion two days ago, on the 14th. It looks much like Graphogaster brunnescens to me, but I could be way out! :) I only managed to get one pic. Any help appreciated thanks!

Lincoln UK.

You'd be lucky :D Well, the head shape looks all wrong and there's no evidence of a subscutellum so my guess is that it's an anthomyid ;)

Thanks Chris, I gather that one is rare then! ;) I didn't get an email notification, must be my server. :| Same thing happens on another site.

Maybe I should change the title and try again. :)
