Acrostichals broad with hairs between + lower calypter beyond upper one + 1 av on hindtibia and 1 av on midtibia.....and mouth protruding..?
Unsurtain Paregle audacula ......(was Paregle radicum) and looks also very simular to Pegoplata aestiva...

Hi Joke
That didn't take long :)..thought you were going to be away studying etc. :o.
Anyway...Looked through some old threads and this does seem to be
P.audacula as in this ..
http://www.dipter...d_id=15007 which has a yellow frons...but this one....
http://www.dipter...d_id=27351 has a black frons. Are they variable in this respect?
Regards Roger

I was far behind with my study....but now I am back to the normal level of being behind..:D
But after the weekend i will be quiet again...so don't worry!
(Have still more to do...B) )
And about the red frontal vitta.....i think is has to do with the fly being fresh!
Probable it will turn to black after a while !!
And indeed the notopleuron is haired also.....so it can be a surtain P.audacula....

Hi Joke...(assuming you aren't up to the oxters in studying), thanks for the confirmation on this previously unrecorded (in Shetland) fly....:)
Regards Roger
Probable that we all turn black after a while....:S
