Really curious where to put this specimen. Mid June at light trap near a pond, Vienna.

My Diptera observations (and other living forms) can be found here, and corrections or comments over there would also be appreciated.

Hi John,
I am now pretty sure that it is a Dixella. It was a pond, and Dixa should occur at streams. I fear with external morphology I won't reach species ID. Anyways, here are some more photos

The first flagellomere appears cylindrical (not slightly swollen) so it should be Dixella.

I can no longer send private messages (and maybe not receive?), even though my inbox and outbox are not yet full. I write, click "send" and they disappear and never show up in the outbox.
