In northern Europe, I can recommend Skartveit (2004) (http://www.entomo...ler_17.pdf, in Norwegian). For English keys covering the same area, see his keys for Bibio (Skartveit 1995) and Dilophus (Skartveit 1996), published in Fauna Norv. Ser. B.; see references in the aforementioned Norwegian key. The Bibio and Dilophus keys are freely available from http://www.entomologi.no/journals/nje/nje.htm.

There are spines halfway the fore tibiae, making it Dilophus.

And the darkened wings makes it D. febrilis rightaway (females only)
