The second of the many flies which I am dismally incapable of identifying - this one, who I am tentatively suggesting may be a Tabanomorph (Edit - Stratiomyidae - I wasn't wrong!), had the following details:
Place: Chongwe District, Lusaka Province, Zambia;
Date; 14/09/2011
Habitat: Floundering in a garden pool (slightly previous to this image).
EDIT - Having issues posting image. My apologies if this continues.
EDIT 2: size - approaching 10mm.

Thanks! I had worried this would stagnate in my "unknown" folder for years!
Can anyone advise - should I move this to a different part of the forum now that I know the family involved, and if so, how?
