I was told this is a Minettia sp. Any chance to get the species? Taken at Gijon, coastal N Spain on the 10th September 2011. In a garden near urban area. Thanks in advance!

Your fly resembles mine (

Minettia longiseta, but I do not know the Spanish Lauxaniids!

Thanks a bunch, Sundew! At least it is something and certainly
Minettia longiseta can be found in Spain! :) The only trouble is that there are another 17 species of
Minettia here!! :o :o :o
If I only know that
Minettia longiseta is distinctive enough, that good be real good news ;)
But you have given me the hint to start my research ;) Thanks a lot!!
