I found hundreds of these little flies (5 mm) on wet seaweeds on a breakwater, Wenduine, Belgium. It looks like the mouthparts are silverish or covered with silverish hairs, because they glitter. Somebody who can help me with family/genus/species? More pictures and specimen available if needed. Thanks in advance.

Thanks a lot, Iain. Any chance for the species (A. celtiber or A. ferox)?
