I think this the same sp. I posted a day or two back...http://www.dipter...d_id=23060...which resulted in opinions split between Phryxe and Nemorilla.

I've managed to get rather better photos - in spite of a near constant breeze - and I'll post a couple of the best. I have more if different angles will help. This one clearly has a triangle of bristles on the humeral callus and a lot of white hairs at the back of the head (though I can't say for sure there aren't black ones also - it might be shadows). So I guess Phryxe is ruled out for this one. Is then Nemorilla the only option?

Looking forward to your expert views.

Very nice picture, and I would say Nemorilla floralis too.
