Is Zaphne divisa a possibility? 5mm, female, rather shiny, arista plumose, sitting on Iris pseudacorus at the edge of a small pond in an east London inner city park, 29 September 2007.

Hi Susan, search for "Zaphne" lead me to this your post. I'd say it isn't Zaphne, neither Anthomyiidae, - Muscida, Hebecnema(my recent problems with Hebecnema ID having material under microscop, make my shiny with species level ID in this case).

I agree with Nikita, it's not Z. divisa, the antennae are too long and the parafacials are wider in divisa. It's not an anthomyiid. |

OK guys, many thanks. Hebecnema didn't occur to me because I thought they would have darker wings. Shiny black is right though.
