Hello,

I would like to identify this small (about 5mm long) Empis fly.
Which species could it be?
Thanks,

FRV

If you put in thge location we can make a much better 'guess'. Assuming NW Europe it might well be Empis rufiventris: pennate reddish brown legs.

Thank you Paul : 20km West of Paris, so it fits well with your proposal.
