Hi, Today I certainly get on your nerves with my pics of small flies that don't show much details. However, this one has a distinctive posture that might allow for a family, or better, genus name. I have no idea, except that it does not seem to be a Lonchaeid. Seen on 28 March. Thanks for help, Sundew Sundew attached the following image:  [132.19Kb] |

I think it is Ephydridae, Gymnomyzini. Not sure at all Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

I would agree with Nikita - or something like Psilopa, but difficult to be sure with these photos.
