Hi All

I have had a lot of trouble trying to put a name to this one - Any ideas?

Maybe Geomyza?

Can you give some clues - like date of capture, locality, habitat etc? :)

Thanks Tony

Chris - Good point - Date of capture for this specimen was 3 weeks ago, but have been finding others since. Various sites in Surrey. Always found close to river, ponds, streams.

I had been though Stuart Ball's family key about a dozen times and never reach a happy result. I have Martin Drake's Key somewhere.
