Hi, I have photographed this fly on a forest pond. Loc. 20km West of Paris. Size about 6-7mm. Seems it was ffeding upon springtails. Any idea on its identity? Thanks for any help, FRV FRV attached the following image:  [149.13Kb] |

Subfamily Dolichopodinae (all tibiae with bristles, preapical bristles on hind femora, arista nearly basal). |
