Hi,

I have checked out the Diptera Gallery and the closest I can come to for an Id of the attached fly is Tetanocera arrogans. The picture was take on 1st May 2006 in my Garden in Surrey, Southern England.

The fly was on Caltha palustris, on the edge of a small pond. and was approx 10mm in length but this is only an estimate as the size was not recorded at the time.

Is it possible to confirm that id from these pictures ? or is it something else entirely ?

Regards Chas
