Most probably visited Tussilago farfara that grew near. Size 8 to 8.5 mm.

Hi Dima This is Odontomyia angulata, an early spring species. The male abdomen is covered in shining silver hairs - best shown in your first photo. Tony ---------- Tony Irwin |

I think Tony means O. argentata. O. angulata is a summer species with larger abdominal markings. Theo Zeegers |

Thanks for the correction, Theo - I did mean argentata.  (Not much sleep last night - a big party for my daughter who has just got married. Now that's over, I can get back to Diptera!)
