Hi Forum,
Would this little one (3 mm.) be a Coenosia, or are there any other possibilities? Picture taken 29 april 2009 on the Netherlands Wadden Sea island of Griend.
Thanks,
Date

I'm certainly no expert, but it looks like a
Coenosia tigrina that I photographed recently – there are plenty of them about in my garden in the UK at the moment.
But I should wait for an expert to come along! :)

Your flies certainly resemble mine. All I can do is wait...

Coenosia is correct, but this is not
C. tigrina. I can't say which species.

Hi Stephane,
Thank you for affirming Coenosia. Do you know whether further identification is at all possible from this photo? I was not able te collect the fly.
