Hello, The fly was running around at Allium ursinum. Because of the running and the arched posture I thought of Phoridae, but in Fliegen und M?cken (J&H Haupt) it says that Phoridae don't have cross veins. This one (length about 3 mm) seems to have one, or do I see something wrong ? The picture is from last week, near Heerlen.

Hi Ben, It belongs to the family Platypezidae. Maybe one of the others can give you a genus or even species name. Jan Willem |

That's nice, I only knew Polyporivora inornata until now. They indeed look similar, except of the color of course. Thanks to you both, Ben |
