Thank You Nikita. This was my first one, so I have never seen Schoenomyza litorella before.

This was hard to believe - it seems such a common (coastal) species and I guess sea isn't so far away there. If you managed to find nearly 1000 species before this, then it was for you a bit like C. urticae STILL IS for me:)

Check some day once more your smaller muscids, if you find specimens with bright yellow frons, they are litorella males.
