Antennae. Quite extensively dusted, with as far as I can see a shallow notch

even in salt marshes, pluvialis is much more common than bigoti, if that is what you hoped for.

Thanks Theo. Frankly, I didn't know what to make of this one. I'd been running a series of fairly obvious crassicornis and pluvialis thorugh the keys, but this one just seemed different. I guess we can probably put that down to lack of experience!

pluvialis is very variable indeed, as many other Haematopota.
