All-black male anthomyiid; I’m hoping the unusual head profile will identify it. Very short face, greatly protruding mouth-parts, (and very long palps?), very small 3rd antennal segment. Abdomen narrow, almost parallel sides. Hint of two dusted stripes on anterior of thoracic dorsum. Lincoln UK 12th March 2011.
Thanks in advance.

Looks like
Egle sp., very common in spring.

Thanks very much for that Erikas. I will check through the key on that basis. I am having problems with the early stages of the key because of lack of experience.
Regards

By checking the key backwards from
Egle, I see features that fit this fly and I am convinced it is
Egle ciliata, but comments always appreciated.

I agree..E. ciliata.
Proboscis and palp both very long (as long as largest diameter of eye)
