Paul, clever that you can see it. I thought about the subfamily, of course, and I thought about Platypalpus, but I did not have the guts to say it.
Fly on the photo looks a bit desperate. ;-)

Ha, ha, ha. I still have an headache because of Paul's blow. He likes to do it in steps....genus....species. Very good, I have to say. For me Platypalpus is a difficult genus.

For everyone it is. Here you have a species with two pairs of vertical setae, strongly elongate third antennal segment and largely glossy mesonotum. That rules out most of the
Platypalpus species, especially from the UK.
