Hello,
Is this one a Clytiomya?

That would be my guess ... or perhaps an Eliozeta sp. but it is hard to say without a specimen :)

Why not Clytiomya , Chris?

It is the most likely ... I just threw in Eliozeta because I know they key to virtually the same place in T&H and they can look similar. Eliozeta tend to look brighter orange but I need more material (hint, hint) to understand them better ;)

Chris, do you mean that if I meet this fly again, I catch it and send it to you?

It would be very nice to have specimens - I can certainly do more with my microscope & keys :) But Theo might be able to give us a name from this photo if we are lucky :)

OK Chris. First I have to meet it again, then to catch it. If I succeed both, I will contact you :)
