6.5mm, Moor Piece Wood, Clitheroe UK, 20 April 2011
On birch trunk.
This one flew before I had finished with the camera.
Eutrichota seems right (the long pre-alar shows well), but I have no information about the arista.
E. longimana could be a good fit (moderate size, heavy dusting, fore-femur dorsally darkened), but if the arista is haired it could perhaps be
E. (Parapegomyia) socculata. The key (Ackland) says nothing about leg colour for this. Can anyone help please?
