Smaller than the Linnaemya http://www.dipter...d_id=49824 which I still see in the garden. But I'm afraid this is Linnaemya too. :|

With dark dusting of the thorax, reddish tibiae and humerus, can be some rarer species, like haemorrhoidalis?

We don't have haemorrhoidalis, only option would be picta or olsufjevi.
The yellow humeri and reddish tibae indeed suggest picta.
However, this species is not (yet ?) known from the given locality.
So I hesitate without collection material.

Thanks again Erikas and Theo.
I am already glad I reconize it as an Linnaemya. I understand it is to difficult with a photo.
Theo..Long ago you 've determined my Linnaemya as Linnaemya tessellans. http://www.diptera.info/forum/viewthread.php?forum_id=5&thread_id=24738
Is it better to change this name also in Linnaemya spec.?
Now I have called it Linnaemya tessellans on my website. http://www.tuin-t...engels.htm

The other one has dark tibiae and humeri, so given that I have little trouble with tessellans. It helps to know that tessellans is your 'default' Linnaemyia (unless it is vulpina, of course) and picta is both rare and not known from the seadune area.
So any record of picta need to have a solid base, whereas this is less true for tessellans.
To the international audience: sorry for the dutch detalis.

Thanks for your time Theo. I've learned a lot.

Me too:) Here picta has been the most common in the past few years.
