Thank you, Kahis. Could it be P. minutus? |

i think it is not possible to say much more here. This fly is pretty common in Corylus avellana  I mean the genus of the fly. |

I think too much pale on the legs for minutus.

minutus and australominutus can be this pale on legs. Can you see a slight apico-ventral rim on the front tibia? Side of scutum looks very shiny in the photo and one would expect it to be a bit dulled in minutus (which has a rather clear median shining line on the scutum) cheers Adrian |

I think the mesonotum is too glossy over-all, especially in the dorsal view.

I took another photo today, though the quality is not good. This time we have a male and a female. Size is quite small, about 3-4mm Joaquim Gaspar Alvesgaspar attached the following image:  [123.55Kb] |

This one clearly has a pollinose mesonotum, but here I cannot distinguish the narrow, glossy, median strip...

Thank you or your interest, Paul. I have a last photo that might be useful though the quality is again poor. Joaquim Alvesgaspar attached the following image:  [141.55Kb] |
