As a first step of this fly ID I send my guess (guess only); Ephydridae?, Notiphila?? Nikita Vikhrev - Zool Museum of Moscow University |

Hi Pierre - Looks like Hydrellia at first glance. Have you got any more shots? - the head troubles me a bit.

Ephydridae but not Hydrellia. Can't quite place it. It looks quite characteristic, but....

Kahis Well, it was a spring species for me. It can remain as a Ephydridae. Thanks anyway. Pierre Duhem |

Thanks for the extra photo, Pierre. I agree with Kahis - not Hydrellia. I suspect it is Ditrichophora.
