Found on dead bird(18 april 2009 Dwarsgracht Neth.)
Little confusing fly...
The sice is about 4,3 mm
At first i thought an too little H.dentipes:), but i think it is not...but I can't find another Hydrotaea that fits
The parafacialia and fronto orbital plates are "shining" black at some places.
M1 seems not towards r4+5
t3 with 3 av + 1ad + 1pd
t2 no ant. setae + 2-3 ant.
interfrontals present
halteres black
2 katepisternals
smal pre-alar
A little help needed...:o

On the feather of dead bird? ;)
Small, spring, shining parafrontalia, t2 without ad...
I'd check
H.armipes. In this case eyes short hairy - check it under dark ground.
